The Effectiveness of Clavipectoral Fascia Plane Block for Clavicle Surgery

The Effect of Clavipectoral Fascia Plane Block on Pain Management and Patient Satisfaction Following Clavicle Surgery: Randomized, Prospective Study

Clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB). CPB was defined by Valdes in 2017 firstly. It may be used for postoperative analgesia after clavicle surgery. In the literature, data about CPB is so limited, however it seems a good option for pain management after clavicle fracture.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the ultrasound-guided CPB for postoperative analgesia management and patient satisfaction in patients underwent clavicle surgery.

Clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB) was defined by Valdes in 2017 firstly. It may be used for postoperative analgesia after clavicle surgery. The clavipectoral fascia covers the clavicular site of the pectoralis major muscle. It provides the potential interfascial space between the clavicle and the pectoralis major muscle. CPB provide effective analgesia after clavicle surgery. It is also easy to perform. With this advantage and its analgesic effectiveness for clavicle surgery, CPB may be an alternative to interscalene brachial plexus block. However, randomized clinical efficacy trials are needed to investigate the effectiveness of CPB for clavicle fractures. In the literature, data about CPB is so limited, however it seems a good alternative to brachial plexus block for pain management after clavicle fracture
