Postoperative Analgesia for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery: A Comparison Between Subacromial and Interscalene Levobupivacaine

Abstract

This study demonstrates that subacromial infusions, although provided good postoperative analgesia, are not as effective as interscalene infusions and additional analgesics should be prescribed when subacromial infusions are started. Subacromial infusions could be considered as an alternative in case of any contraindication to interscalene block.
