Official title
Efficacy of Brachial Plexus Block in Post-Operative Pain Control After Distal Upper Extremity Fracture: A Prospective Randomized Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Despite the plethora of literature suggesting that regional blockade provides adequate andimproved postoperative pain control, function and improved intraoperative and postoperative safety in proximal upper extremity surgery, little is known of its benefits for the treatment of forearm and distal radius fractures . The purpose of this randomized, prospective, study is to determine if brachial plexus blockade with general anesthesia is superior to general anesthesia alone in immediate and long-term pain control in patients undergoing operative fixation of distal upper extremity fractures.
