Beyond diaphragmatic safety: distal motor function as the missing outcome in shoulder blocks

We read with great interest the recent randomized comparison between interscalene block (ISB) and combined infraclavicular–anterior suprascapular block.[1][1] We would like to highlight a clinical distinction that may deserve further discussion. The ISB, performed at the level of the upper
