Background: The effects of the erector spinae plane (ESP) block and interscalene nerve block (ISNB) on arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) have been investigated separately.
Purpose: To evaluate whether additional catheterization for the ESP block can decrease acute postoperative pain and opioid consumption above the ISNB and multimodal oral analgesics in patients after arthroscopic RCR.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

- Patients with a foot problem called hallux valgus (HV) had surgery to fix it using a method called Minimally Invasive Chevron and Akin Osteotomy (MICA).
- Before and after the surgery, doctors looked at X-rays and pressure measurements to see how well it worked.
- The surgery made some angles in the foot better, but it didn’t lower the pressure on the middle part of the foot like they hoped it would.
