Supraclavicular or interscalene brachial plexus block for rotator cuff repair?

Postoperative Pain Control After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Arthroscopy-Guided Continuous Suprascapular Nerve Block Versus Ultrasound-Guided Continuous Interscalene Block

“…3 Among them, nerve block for postoperative pain control, which includes interscalene block, supraclavicular block, and suprascapular nerve block, has been used extensively to reduce pain and side effects of medications. [4][5][6][7] In recent years, several studies have reported that continuous interscalene block (ISB) is effective in controlling postoperative pain and decreasing rebound pain. [8][9][10] ISB targets the C5 and C6 nerve roots of the brachial plexus, where the suprascapular nerve and axillary nerve innervate the shoulder joint.…”
