A Combination of Clavipectoral Fascial Plane Block and Intrahematoma Injection for Distal Clavicle Fracture Fixation: A Case Report

The clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) provides regional anesthesia for clavicular procedures while minimizing complications. Although the hematoma block (HB) is well-established in distal radius fractures, its combination with CPB for clavicle fractures is not widely described. A 72-year-old man presented with a right distal clavicle fracture and elected to undergo surgical fixation. A modified CPB was performed preoperatively, with a portion of the local anesthetic injected into the fracture hematoma. The patient had excellent intraoperative and postoperative analgesia with minimal rescue opioid requirements. This case demonstrates the efficacy of combining a CPB with hematoma injection for distal clavicle fractures.

Abstract

The clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) provides regional anesthesia for clavicular procedures while minimizing complications. Although the hematoma block (HB) is well-established in distal radius fractures, its combination with CPB for clavicle fractures is not widely described. A 72-year-old man presented with a right distal clavicle fracture and elected to undergo surgical fixation. A modified CPB was performed preoperatively, with a portion of the local anesthetic injected into the fracture hematoma. The patient had excellent intraoperative and postoperative analgesia with minimal rescue opioid requirements. This case demonstrates the efficacy of combining a CPB with hematoma injection for distal clavicle fractures.
