Distal Nerve Blocks for Closed Reduction of Distal Forearm Fractures

Denmark268 participantsStarted 2017-12-01

Plain-language summary

Randomized controlled trial comparing the standard haematoma block used for reduction of distal forearm fractures in the Emergency Department with ultrasound guided nerveblocks. The investigators hypothesize that ultrasound guided blocking of the radial and median nerves will improve fracture reduction satisfaction for the true Colles' fractures and improve analgesia for reduction of all distal forearm fracture types compared to the standard haematoma block.
