Summary

Total shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) can cause severe postoperative pain. Commonly, patients receive general anesthesia with interscalene block (injection of local anesthetic or numbing medicine near nerves in the shoulder) during surgery. As a result of the interscalene block, patients often experience sensory and motor blockade. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the interscalene block on the anterior deltoid muscle and hand grip strength after total shoulder arthroplasty.
