Overview
Brief Summary
Postoperative pain management plays an important role in elective shoulder surgery. The aim of this randomized quantitative study is to compare two frequently used postoperative pain regimes (hydromorphone versus piritramide) regarding onset and duration after the effectiveness of the single-shot interscalene block has diminished.
