Rib fractures are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality due to potential respiratory complications. Pain is one of the most critical factors affecting respiratory functions. Therefore, pain management is a crucial component of treatment. The erector spinae plane block, a newly defined technique, has been used for postoperative acute pain control and chronic pain syndromes. Its use has become widespread in rib fractures due to its ability to provide effective analgesia and its safe application under ultrasound guidance. Data is needed to determine if it is the best method compared to other techniques. In this article, we aim to review the literature through our case series.
