| Abstract (English): |
The clavipectoral fascia block is a novel regional technique used for the surgical repair of the midshaft clavicle fracture. The effectiveness of this approach is thought to be based on the spreading the local anaesthetic through the clavipectoral fascia. This case series report discusses 8 patients with midshaft or distal clavicular fractures who underwent a clavipectoral fascia block combined with a superficial cervical plexus block. Only one patient reported pain in the recovery room, three patients presented mild pain during the first 24 hours and only one required rescue analgesia with a weak opioid. No incidents or adverse events were documented during the first 24 hours and no motor blockage of the arm was reported. The clavipectoral fascia block is a safe, effective, and straightforward regional technique for analgesic management in clavicle repair. However, further research is needed to assess its efficacy.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
El bloqueo del plano de la fascia clavipectoral es una novedosa técnica utilizada para la reparación quirúrgica de la fractura del tercio medio de la clavícula. Se cree que la efectividad de este abordaje se basa en la propagación del anestésico local a través de la fascia clavipectoral. El pre-sente reporte de serie de casos hace referencia a 8 pacientes con fracturas de la clavícula medial o distal, a quienes se les realizó un bloqueo de la fascia clavipectoral combinado con un bloqueo del plexo cervical superficial. Solamente un paciente reportó dolor en la sala de recuperación, tres pacientes presentaron dolor leve durante las primeras 24 horas y solo uno requirió analgesia de rescate con un opioide débil. No se documenta-ron incidentes ni eventos adversos durante las primeras 24 horas y no se reportó bloqueo motor del brazo. El bloqueo de la fascia clavipectoral es una técnica regional segura, efectiva y sencilla para el manejo analgésico durante la reparación de la clavícula. Sin embargo, se necesita más investigación para evaluar su eficacia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
