Case report demonstrates successful open reduction and internal fixation under sole clavipectoral fascial plane block in a young male, highlighting its feasibility as a stand-alone anesthetic.
The clavipectoral fascial plane block (CFPB) that has been utilized for clavicle fracture surgeries and pain management is an emerging anesthetic technique. It has been previously used for postoperative pain management, but it can also be used as a stand-alone anesthetic technique for clavicle fracture management. Here we describe a case of a 20-year-old male who underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plating for a mid-shaft clavicular fracture under a CFPB as a sole anesthetic.
