Clavicle fractures are commonly encountered in orthopedic outpatient department but are often managed conservatively. Yet some clavicle fractures need surgical intervention which in turn demand adequate anaesthesia and analgesia. Due to complex sensory innervation there is no sole regional anaesthesia technique which could provide adequate analgesia for clavicle fractures. With the advent of ultra-sonography (USG) and the description of clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB) by Dr. Valde a lot was simplified. Administration of CPB provides intra as well as postoperative analgesia, maintains hemodynamics, reduces opioid consumption and improvises postoperative recovery of the patients undergoing clavicle surgeries.
