Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block Combined With Suprascapular Nerve Block
Rotator Cuff Injury
About this trial
This is an interventional supportive care trial for Rotator Cuff Injury focused on measuring sono-guided interscalene brachial plexus block, arthroscopy-guided suprascapular nerve block, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, postoperative pain
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- definite rotator cuff tear on preoperative MRI, which needed repair;
- acceptance of arthroscopic surgery including rotator cuff repair;
- > 20 years old; and
- acceptance of routine regional blocks and patient-controlled analgesia.
Exclusion Criteria:
- did not want arthroscopic rotator cuff repair;
- stopped PCA before 48 h postoperatively due to side effects;
- history of shoulder operation or fracture;
- concomitant neurological disorder around the shoulder;
- conversion to open surgery from the arthroscopy; and
- contraindication to the routine regional blocks in this study

ISB with SSNB
ISB alone
During arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, ultrasound-guided ISB was performed preemptively with 7.5 mL ropivacaine immediately after general anesthesia was induced. And at the end of surgery, arthroscopy-guided SSNB was performed with 10 mL ropivacaine.
