Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Clavipectoral fascial plane block  The patient will be supine with the head turned to the contralateral side. Under sterile aseptic conditions, a 6- to 13-MHz linear array probe will be used for regional anaesthesia. A local anesthetic solution of 20 mL 0.5% ropivacaine will be used. During C.P.B., using the in-plane technique, an ultrasound probe will be placed on both theinner and outer one-third of the anterior surface of the clavicle. A 22-gauge needle will be inserted and advanced into the space between the periosteum of the clavicle and clavipectoral fascia in a caudal to cephalad direction, and a total of 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine will be equally injected medially and laterally with the help of ultrasound landmarks and the in-plane needle path. 
Intervention  Interscalene brachial plexus block  The patient will be supine with the head turned to the contralateral side under sterile aseptic conditions, and a 6- to 13-MHz linear array probe will be used for regional anaesthesia. To perform Interscalene brachial plexusblock,a high-frequency probe will be positioned at the level of the cricoid cartilage to visualize the brachial plexus between the anterior and middle scalene muscles.  
Comparator Agent  Nil  Nil 
Intervention  Superficial cervical plexus block  The patient will be placed in a supine position and under all aseptic precautions, with the head turned to the contralateral side, for adequate exposure of the neck and the upper chest, a linear high-frequency ultrasound probe (6–13 MHz, Sonosite) will be placed at the lateral side of the neck over the midpoint of the sterno-cleidomastoid muscle at the level of the cricoid cartilage, which corresponds with the C6 transverse apophysis and its characteristic anterior tubercle. The superficial cervical plexus (S.C.P.) will be visualized just superficial to the prevertebral fascia overlying the interscalene groove. Using the posterior in-plane technique, a five cm block needle will be introduced from lateral to medial until its tip is placed near the S.C.P. above the prevertebral fascia. After careful negative aspiration to exclude intravascular placement, 7 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine will be deposited.  
Intervention  Ultrasound guided clavicle fracture regional block   Ultrasound guided clavipectoral fascial plane block versus interscalene brachial plexus block combined with superficial cervical plexus block

Brief Summary  

This is a randomized clinical trial type of study which compares efficacy of ultrasound guided clavipectoral fascial plane block versus interscalene brachial plexus block combined with superficial cervical plexus block in clavicle fractures. It consists total of 60 patients with 30 each in 2 groups namely "C" and "I". Group C will have Superficial cervical plexus block combined with Clavipectoral fascial plane block and group I includes superficial cervical plexus block combined with Interscalene brachial plexus block. Both groups will receive 20ml of 0.5% Ropivicaine without any adjuvants in patients posted for unilateral clavicle fractures surgeries using Sonosite ultrasound guidance. The study will be conducted in Shri BM Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre , Vijayapura, Karnataka in it’s Orthopedic OT complex. The primary objective is to asses the success rate of the block, ultrasonographic assessment of hemidiaghragmatic paresis by using sigh test and modified bromage scale to asses the upper limb function. The secondary objective is assessment of pain by using VAS score, time for first rescue analgesia, look for side effects including local anaesthetic systemic toxicity and Horner syndrome.
