    AbstractFacioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) typically affects the periscapular muscles, resulting in scapular winging. Scapulothoracic arthrodesis (STA) stabilizes the scapula to provide better movement for these patients. Analgesia regimen for FSHD patients who received a single-shot erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and a catheter at the area were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Patients were asked to rate their pain postoperatively and only 5 of 10 patients needed rescue analgesic. No complications occurred. Our experience suggests that continuous ESPB may be helpful for providing analgesia in FSHD patients undergoing STA.Copyright © 2023 International Anesthesia Research Society.
