Clavicle fractures are the most common fractures of the shoulder girdle. Due to the complex sensory innervation of the clavicle, patients' pain scores are high in the postoperative period. ⋯ It provides analgesia between C3 and T10. In this case report, our experience with SPSIPB, which we applied for rescue analgesia in a patient who underwent surgery for a clavicle fracture, is described.

Recently, a consensus process specified a core outcome set (COS) of domains to be assessed in each comparative effectiveness research and clinical practice related to acute postoperative pain. Physical function (PF) was one of these domains. The aim of this review was to investigate which patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used to assess PF after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in clinical trials and if they fulfil basic requirements for a COS of PROMs based on their psychometric properties. ⋯ A systematic search for patient-reported outcome measures assessing postoperative, pain-related physical function after total knee arthroplasty in clinical trials and assessment of their content validity revealed none that fulfilled requirements based on COSMIN recommendations.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Addition of liposomal bupivacaine to standard bupivacaine versus standard bupivacaine alone in the supraclavicular brachial plexus block: a randomized controlled trial.
The analgesic effect of adding liposomal bupivacaine to standard bupivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block is not known. The authors hypothesized that addition of liposomal bupivacaine would reduce acute postoperative pain compared to standard bupivacaine alone. ⋯ Liposomal bupivacaine given via supraclavicular brachial plexus block reduced pain at rest in the early postoperative period.

Meta AnalysisPerioperative Regional Anesthesia on Persistent Opioid Use and Chronic Pain after Noncardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Whether regional anesthesia impacts the development of chronic postsurgical pain is currently debateable, and few studies have evaluated an effect on prolonged opioid use. We sought to systematically review the effect of regional anesthesia for adults undergoing noncardiac elective surgery on these outcomes. ⋯ The results of this study suggest that regional anesthesia potentially reduces chronic postsurgical pain up to 6 months after surgery. Our findings also suggest a potential decrease in the development of persistent opioid use.
