Abstract

Background

Clavicle fractures are commonly encountered in the emergency department and require effective analgesia to facilitate appropriate management and disposition.

Case Report

We present the case of a 52-year-old man who presented with an acute, mildly displaced midshaft fracture of his right clavicle. After minimal improvement in pain from oral and topical analgesics, he underwent an ultrasound-guided clavipectoral plane block which completely relieved his pain. He did not require additional analgesics for 36 hours after the block.

Why Should an Emergency Physician Be Aware of This?

The ultrasound-guided CPB may be a safe and effective analgesic strategy for uncomplicated clavicle fractures in the ED.
