Arthroscopic operations of the shoulder are associated with postoperative pain which can lead to chronic pain if not treated effectively. The classic posterior approach for the suprascapular nerve is associated with higher technical failures and it is more painful procedure for the patients.
We report a case of a 72-year-old male patient who underwent right shoulder arthroplasty. We performed ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block with anterior approach, combined with axillary nerve block, and provided effective analgesia.

Omuzun artroskopik operasyonlar�nda postoperatif a�r� etkili bir �ekilde tedavi edilmezse kronik a�r� geli�ebilir. Supraskapular sinir blo�unda klasik posterior yakla��m daha y�ksek oranda teknik ba�ar�s�zl�k ile ilgilidir ve hastalar i�in daha a�r�l� bir i�lemdir.
Bu olguda, elektif sa� omuz artroplasti operasyonu olan ve etkin postoperatif analjezi sa�lad��m�z 72 ya��ndaki erkek hastaya uygulad��m�z ultrason e�li�inde aksiller sinir blo�u ile anterior yakla��mla yap�lan supraskapular sinir blo�u ele al�nm��t�r.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Anterior yakla��mla supraskapular sinir blo�u, postoperatif a�r�, omuz artroplasti
