Comparison of the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided superficial serratus anterior plane block and intercostal nerve block for rib fractures: a randomized controlled trial
S-SAPB provides prolonged analgesia and may be preferable for managing rib fracture pain beyond the initial 8 h. However, ICNB offers superior pain relief in the early postoperative period, especially for lower rib fractures (10<sup>th</sup>-11<sup>th</sup> ribs). A combined approach that includes both blocks may optimize pain control in patients with multiple rib fractures involving the 10<sup>th</sup> and 11<sup>th</sup> ribs.
