Article Abstract
A 48-year-old man with a superior labral tear and medical history including hemidiaphragmatic paresis, obstructive sleep apnea, vocal cord paresis, and glottic narrowing, underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis. Reduction in respiratory function presented anesthetic management challenges with general anesthesia or an interscalene brachial plexus block. Instead, ultrasound guidance was used to deliver a selective upper-trunk block with 1 % lidocaine and an axillary nerve block with 0.5 % ropivacaine. Immediately before incision, the surgeon administered 1 % lidocaine for LIA at the arthroscopic portal sites and within the shoulder capsule. The procedure was completed successfully with the patient awake and comfortable.

Background And Aims: Regional anaesthesia for clavicle surgery focuses on site-specific nerve blocks to minimise the drug volume, prevent unnecessary nerve block, and reduce complications. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and dynamics of selectively blocking supraclavicular (SC) nerves and upper trunk (UT) of the brachial plexus (SCUT block) with clavipectoral fascial plane (CPF) block as a site-specific regional anaesthesia strategy for clavicle surgery.
Methods: In this single-centre, double-blinded, randomised study, 50 patients undergoing clavicle surgeries were given either SCUT block or CPF block with SC nerve block under ultrasound guidance with 20 mL of 0.

Injury and Biological Factors Impact Shoulder Function following Autogenous Grafting of Spinal Nerves for Pan-Brachial Plexus Reconstruction.

Background: Shoulder function after spinal nerve grafting in pan-brachial plexus injuries (pan-BPI) is not well described. The authors evaluated shoulder abduction (ABD) and external rotation (ER) after spinal nerve grafting to the suprascapular nerve, axillary nerve, or posterior division of the upper trunk and determined patient characteristics, injury severity and characteristics, and nerve graft factors that influenced outcomes.
Methods: A total of 362 patients undergoing pan-BPI reconstruction and spinal nerve grafting for shoulder reanimation in a single institution between 2001 and 2018 were reviewed.
Effectiveness of Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment in Tufted Angioma: A Promising Intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Tufted angioma (TA) is a rare, benign vascular tumor that typically appears in infants, characterized by reddish or purplish lesions, and is difficult to treat effectively.
- A case study of a 15-year-old girl with TA showed improvement in her painful, purplish plaques after applying pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment over several sessions.
- PDL specifically targets the abnormal blood vessels in TA, leading to reduced redness and pain with minimal damage to surrounding skin.
