Postoperative shoulder pain should be adequately treated not only because of the high severity of the symptomatology often observed, but also because pain and muscle contraction render impossible an early rehabilitation programme. Regional anaesthesia, by virtue of its beneficial effects on the pathophysiology of pain and its influence on the rehabilitative problems of shoulder surgery, is the most adequate technique for the control of postoperative pain.
