Key result
Bupivacaine femoral nerve block significantly reduced perioperative analgesic requirements and postoperative morbidity versus systemic analgesia in extracapsular femoral neck fractures.
Why the study?
Does bupivacaine femoral nerve block reduce perioperative analgesic requirements and postoperative morbidity in patients with extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck?
Does bupivacaine femoral nerve block reduce perioperative analgesic requirements and postoperative morbidity in patients with extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck?
Bupivacaine femoral nerve block is an effective procedure that significantly reduces perioperative analgesic requirements and postoperative morbidity in patients with extracapsular femoral neck fractures.
Supports bupivacaine femoral nerve block to reduce perioperative opioids and morbidity in extracapsular femoral neck fractures; confirms superiority versus systemic analgesia in this RCT.
We randomised 50 patients with extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck to receive either a bupivacaine femoral nerve block or systemic analgesia alone. A femoral nerve block was found to be an easy and effective procedure which significantly reduced perioperative analgesic requirements and postoperative morbidity.
