Introduction: Regional anaesthesia is seldom used for clavicle fractures considering the anatomical location of the bone. We aim to compare the efficacy of two techniques of regional anaesthesia as sole anaesthesia technique for fixations of clavicular fractures. Material and methods: 60 Adult patients with clavicle fractures were divided randomly in two groups (1 and 2) and were administered interscalene block (ISB) only or interscalene block and superficial cervical plexus block(ISB+SCPB) as sole anaesthetic, respectively. Patients were monitored for efficacy of block and adequacy of anaesthesia and analgesia at the surgical site. Side effects and hemodynamic parameters were also monitored. Results:. ISB+SCPB provides excellent anaesthesia for clavicle fixation. Only 1 patient in group 2 required General Anaesthesia(GA) whereas in Group 1, 8 patients required some form of supplemental anaesthesia. There was no statistically significant difference in side-effects and hemodynamic profile in both the groups. Conclusion: ISB+SCPB is significantly better than ISB only for anaesthesia for fixation of clavicular surgeries.
