Theoretically, all surgeries below mid-humerus can be done under infraclavicular (IC) blocks. Following the introduction of ultrasonography (USG) to clinical anesthesia, plexus, and nerve blocks under the guidance of USG have gained wide acceptance for the high rates of block success and low risk of complications (1). In this study, the main aim is to evaluate the single injection and triple injection techniques in IC blocks with a USG-guided medial approach in terms of block success and the need for supplementary blocks. The secondary goals are to compare the complication rates and sensory block durations and to discuss the possible reasons for the failure of the blocks.
