Ultrasound-guided lateral sagittal infraclavicular block in patient with flexion contracture

Ultrasound (US)-guided lateral sagittal infraclavicular block (LSIB) is a technique of regional anesthesia that is used for anesthesia and analgesia in lower arm surgery. US emerges as an essential source for peripheral nerve block in cases of the nerve stimulator is not to possible to use. We presented that US-guided LSIB was successfully applied for finger amputation in a 80-years female patient with flexion contracture in the left hand due to previous cerebrovascular disease, because this was not reported previously in the literature.
