The aim of this study is to assess analgesic efficacy of a supraclavicular nerve block,
suprascapular nerve block, or interscalene nerve block in a population undergoing shoulder
arthroscopy with rotator cuff repair. The investigators hypothesize that subjects from all
three arms will receive equal analgesia since these blocks are routinely performed to treat
post-operative pain after shoulder surgery.
