Abstract :

Aims and objectives • To assess the effectiveness of hematoma block as a modality of analgesia in distal end radius fracture Materials and methodology • Prospective study • 30 patients with distal end radius fracture chosen within 1–2days from the day of injury • 10ml of 2% loxicard was injected in fracture site • Results evaluated on basis of time of onset / latency , duration of analgesia and effectiveness thru visual analog scale(vas) and faces pain rating scale Results • Average duration of onset–5min , duration of analgesia–1 hour ,vas –2 and faces pain rating scale–1 Conclusion • Hence hematoma block can be considered as one of the safe and effective modality of analgesia for manipulation and reduction in patients with fracture of distal end radius with hematoma at fracture site
