Brief summary (from the registry)
This is a non-randomized prospective study. Patients undergoing upper extremity and shoulder surgical procedures after trauma at SJHC and LHSC will be divided in to two groups. The first group will include those who receive a single shot brachial plexus (interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular and axillary) block with or without general anesthesia. The second group will be the control group and include those patients who receive general anesthesia only, without any block whether due to the preference of patient or the surgeon
