Abstract

Clavipectoral fascial plane block combined with superficial cervical plexus block has been used as an anesthetic and analgesic technique in mid-clavicle fracture surgeries. The authors describe two cases in which patients underwent extraction of osteosynthesis material from the clavicle, using clavipectoral fascial plane block combined with superficial cervical plexus block as an anesthetic and analgesic technique in the postoperative period. The mentioned block presented itself as an easy-to-perform technique, apparently safe and effective, allowing to obtain satisfactory results.

Keywords: clavicle surgery; clavipectoral fascia block; regional anesthesia; superficial cervical plexus; supraclavicular nerve.
