Comparing two anesthesia techniques for clavicle surgery
Ultrasound Guided Wide Awake Local Anesthesia Versus Clavipectoral Fascia Plane Block With Superficial Cervical Plexus Block for Clavicle Surgery, Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
This study tests whether a new way of numbing the area around the collarbone surgery can make patients feel more comfortable and satisfied compared to a traditional method.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the feasibility of using wide awake local anesthesia without a tourniquet (WALANT) versus the clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB) for anesthesia during clavicle surgery. It aims to assess patient comfort and satisfaction by measuring intraoperative verbal rating scores and postoperative opioid consumption. The study will include patients with unilateral clavicle fractures and will exclude those who are psychologically unstable or refuse to be awake during the procedure.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients classified as ASA 1 or 2 with a unilateral clavicle fracture.
Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit from this study include those who are psychologically unstable, uncooperative, or have allergies or infections at the surgical site.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a less invasive anesthesia option for patients undergoing clavicle surgery, potentially reducing the need for general anesthesia and improving recovery times.
How similar studies have performed: While various regional anesthesia techniques have been explored for clavicle surgery, the specific comparison of WALANT and CPB in this context is relatively novel.
