Effect of Ultrasonographically Guided Axillary Nerve Block Combined With Suprascapular Nerve Block in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Arthroscopy. 2014 Aug;30(8):906-1442 patients, that underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, were randomly assigned to one of the two groups; group 1 received both ultrasonographically guided axillary nerve block (ANB) and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) and group 2 received SSNB alone. The aim of this study was to compare the results of ANB combined with SSNB with those of SSNB alone on postoperative pain and satisfaction. In comparison to SSNB alone, ANB combined with SSNB improved pain scores in the initial 24 postoperative hours, as well as better patient satisfaction and lateral pain index in the first 36 postoperative hours.
