Background and objectivesThe costoclavicular brachial plexus block is performed deep and posterior to the midpoint of the clavicle. There are limited data evaluating the spread of the costoclavicular brachial plexus block. We performed a cadaveric study to evaluate the spread of injectate after a costoclavicular brachial plexus block.MethodsFive ultrasound-guided costoclavicular block injections were performed with 20 mL of 0.1% methylene blue. The brachial plexus and its branches were dissected from the level of C4 to the lower axilla. The extent of dye spread was recorded including spread to the phrenic nerve, suprascapular nerve, roots, trunks, divisions, cords and terminal branches of the brachial plexus.ResultsThe dye extended cephalad to the level of the cricoid cartilage in two of the five injections; three injections had dye extending 0.75 cm, 1.5 cm and 2 cm caudad to the level of the cricoid cartilage, respectively. The C7, C8 and T1 nerve roots were stained in all injections. The dye did not extend cephalad to the C5 and C6 nerve roots. All trunks, cords and divisions of the brachial plexus were stained, as was the suprascapular nerve. There was no spread of dye to the phrenic nerve in any of the specimens.ConclusionsThis cadaveric study demonstrates that ultrasound-guided injection in the costoclavicular space spreads cephalad to the brachial plexus in the supraclavicular space, consistently reaching the suprascapular nerve and all trunks and cords of the brachial plexus, while sparing the phrenic nerve.

Suprascapular Nerve Block

Background:Frozen shoulder is prevalent among diabetic patients, and usually has aggressive course, with more tendency to be bilateral and resistant to treatment. Suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) is used with increasing frequency by anesthetists and rheumatologists in the management of frozen shoulder. We previously introduced a protocol of nine injections for SSNB with better short term outcome than single SSNB injection (1). Long term outcome of SSNB in management of frozen shoulder is still not detected.Objectives:To evaluate the long term effect of multiple (nine) ultrasound guided supra-scapular nerve block in treatment of diabetic frozen shoulder.Methods:A retrospective cohort study followed up 40 diabetic patients who received a course of ultrasound guided multiple supra-scapular nerve block (9 injections) on 2014. In this study we retrospectively assessed the patients from previously recorded data at a mean duration of 6 years after completing the 9 injection course SSNB clinically by measuring the shoulder active range of motion (using a goniometer in three planes: abduction, internal, and external rotation). Visual analogue scale and Functional assessment by shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI).Results:Thirty four patients (85% of original cohort) completed the long term follow up.The patients were 19 (55.9%) females, 60.6 y mean age, and the mean of disease duration was 85.6 months. The majority of patients (33 patients 97.05%) continues improvement and gained within normal complete range of motions in all directions and excellent grades of shoulder function (Table 1).Table 1.Clinical ParametersAt base lineAt 4 monthsLast follow up at (72months±4)**P valueSPADI pain score (100)(68.8 ± 0.5)a(10.3 ± 7.4)b(0.9±1.9)c0.00*SPADI disability score (100)(69.2 ± 7.7)a(6.25 ± 2.25)b(0.4±0.8)c0.00*SPADI total (100)(69.1 ± 8.5)a(8.15 ± 5.4)b(1.1±0.9)c0.00*Patient global assessment (100)(90.2 ± 8.2)a(8.2 ± 4.2)b(0.4±2.1)c0.00*Night pain (100)(55.4±10.2)a(10.3 ± 4.9)b(2.3±1.1)c0.00*Abduction (180°)(77.5 ± 4.7)a(170.3 ± 10.3)b(174.2±6.2)b0.00*External rotation (100 °)(46 ± 12.6)a(80.1 ± 10.2)b(86.4±10.3)b0.00*Internal rotation (70 °)(34.5 ± 2.4)a(55.4 ± 10.1)b(60.2±9.5)b0.00** P <0.05 there was a statistical significant difference•A,b,c--- the alphabet of different symbols ---means a significant statistical difference between groupsSPADI: shoulder pain and disability indexConclusion:The multiple injection courses for supra-scapular nerve block has an excellent long term efficacy as treatment of diabetic frozen shoulder. This method should be the treatment of choice in patients of diabetic frozen shoulder who do not respond to physiotherapy.References:[1]Mortada, M. A., Ezzeldin, N., Abbas, S. F., Ammar, H.
