Ultrasound-guided selective supraclavicular nerve block combined with modified clavipectoral fascial plane block for midshaft clavicule fracture surgery: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Conventional anesthesia for clavicular fracture surgery poses significant challenges. General anesthesia risks pulmonary complications, while traditional nerve blocks may cause diaphragmatic paralysis or motor impairment. Ultrasound-guided techniques improve precision, but standalone superficial cervical plexus or interscalene brachial plexus blocks often fail to fully anesthetize the deep clavicular region, especially in polytrauma patients. An optimized combined approach could provide effective analgesia while preserving respiratory and motor function. A 65-year-old male patient with a comminuted fracture of the middle right clavicle and multiple injuries underwent surgery with an ultrasound-guided selective supraclavicular nerve block (SSNB) combined with a modified clavipectoral fascia
