Summary
The investigators have recently shown that LSIB in combination with a suprascapular and a
cervical plexus block is a very good alternative for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However,
the investigators believe the total volume of local anesthetic for LSIB may be reduced. For
shoulder surgery there is no need to block the medial cord and the investigators therefore
hypothesize a significantly lower MEV95% by applying a selective lateral and posterior cord
