Clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) is an attractive method of providing perioperative analgesia in patients with fractured clavicles. It is safe, easy to perform, and provides satisfactory analgesia with minimum complication risk. This report describes CPB in a 67-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities who underwent successful clavicle fracture fixation either as a stand-alone anaesthetic technique or combined with general anaesthesia. Correctly performed CPB could effectively reduce perioperative analgesic use, particularly in patients unsuitable for commonly used analgesics, while providing adequate analgesia for a prolonged duration.
