• Conditions: Proximal Humerus Fractures

• Registration Number: NCT06253442
• Lead Sponsor: Ain Shams University

Brief Summary

A Comparative study Between Ultrasound guided Interscalene Block and Combined Ultrasound guided suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks for proximal humerus fracture Surgeries.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether (Suprascapular nerve block) and (Axillary nerve block) are effective in providing analgesia for shoulder surgery as an (Interscalene block), while minimizing the occurrence of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis. We hypothesized that analgesia with a (Suprascapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block) would be noninferior compared with patients receiving an interscalene block and the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis would be significantly lower with (Suprascapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block) in proximal humerus fracture surgeries.
