The costoclavicular nerve block offers a potential alternative to traditional brachial plexus blocks for upper extremity surgery, reducing the risk of diaphragmatic paralysis. This case study highlights its effectiveness in managing pain after distal radius fracture surgery without opioids.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Regional Anesthesia
- Orthopedic Surgery
Background:
- Interscalene and supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks are standard for upper extremity surgery but risk phrenic nerve palsy.
- The costoclavicular block is an emerging technique with potential to reduce this complication.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
