Postoperative Analgesia With Local Infiltration After Femoral Neck Fracture

May 5, 2010 updated by: Odense University Hospital

Postoperative Analgesia With Local Infiltration After Femoral Neck Fracture vs. Traditional Treatment of Pain With Opioids

Reducing pain is an essential factor for early mobilization after osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures. Systemic opioids have side effects that might obstruct mobilization and induce delirium and nausea. The investigators hypothesized that wound infiltration results in reduction in systemic opioid usage and pain relief without side effects.
