Fracture humerus is a common cause of morbidity among orthopedic patients. Brachial plexus block provides ideal operating conditions in a fracture humerus patient and it also takes care of post operative pain. Ultrasound guided brachial plexus has become the gold standard. Here we have discussed a safer approach to landmark guided brachial plexus block via supraclavicular approach with least possibility of pneumothorax.
