Abstract
We compared the analgesic effects of a suprascapular nerve block with intra-articular local anaesthetic in 20 patients presenting with acute anterior glenohumeral dislocations. The intra-articular local anaesth etic technique was a simpler procedure which proved significantly more analgesia for patients. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
