Efficacy and Safety of Hematoma Block Versus Brachial Plexus Block for Closed Reduction of Extra-Articular Distal Radius Fracture: A Prospective Study
EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF HEMATOMA BLOCK VERSUS BRACHIAL PLEXUS BLOCK FOR CLOSED REDUCTION OF EXTRA-ARTICULAR DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common types of fractures, affecting mostly youngsters and the elderly. Safety, ease of use, affordability, and effectiveness all play a role in analgesia during reduction. This study's goal is to assess how well the Hematoma Block (HB) reduces distal forearm fractures in a developing nation like Nepal. At a tertiary care hospital, a randomized comparative study is used. The individuals with distal forearm fractures that have been radiologically confirmed are enrolled after taking informed consent. When reducing distal forearm fractures, the patients are divided into two groups: Brachial Plexus Block (BPB group) and Hematoma Block group. We note the level of pain before, during, and after reduction using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in both groups. The patient's radiological correction is assessed by Modified Sarmiento Criteria with an immediate post reduction radiograph.
Comparing Hematoma Block and Brachial Plexus Block, we can choose a definitive easy method for reduction that is easy, safe and less time consuming. Hence, the study will provide a guide for commonly occurring distal radius fracture.
Hypotheses of the Study:
Null hypothesis (Ho): There is no difference between feasibility, safety and quality of reduction in the two groups of anesthesia techniques.
Ho: Safety, efficacy and quality of reduction with Hematoma block = Brachial plexus block
Alternate hypothesis (H1): There is a difference between feasibility, safety and quality of reduction in the two groups of anesthesia techniques.
H1: Safety, efficacy and quality of reduction with Hematoma block ≠ Brachial plexus block

Pain Severity Assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Tidsramme: 1 year
|
Pain severity during fracture reduction will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a 10-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst imaginable pain.
Pain scores will be recorded prior to, during, and immediately following fracture reduction.
Higher scores indicate worse pain severity.

Quality of Fracture Reduction Assessed by Plain Radiographic Parameters
Tidsramme: 1 year
|
Quality of reduction following fracture manipulation will be assessed using plain radiographs in posteroanterior (PA) and lateral views.
Radiographic parameters include ulnar variance (mm), radial length (mm), radial tilt (degrees), and dorsal/palmar tilt (degrees).
Measurements will be compared between hematoma block and brachial plexus block groups.

Procedure-Related Complications
Tidsramme: 1 year
|
Complications related to fracture reduction or anesthesia technique will be recorded during hospital stay and follow-up.
Complications may include neurovascular injury, compartment syndrome, local anesthetic-related adverse events, infection, or failure of reduction.
Outcome will be reported as number and percentage of participants experiencing complications.
