Ultrasound Guided Hematoma Block in Distal Radius Fractures

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate the effectiveness of analgesia of ultrasound hematoma block compared to 'blind' hematoma block in patients with dislocated distal radius fracture.

Clinical Trial Description

Distal radius fractures represent one of the most common injuries in the Emergency Department (ED). Proper treatment especially for dislocated fractures can minimize the chance of residual injury. For closed reduction anesthesia is essential for safety, satisfaction and result. Different methods of regional anesthesia can be used but hematoma block (HB) is the technique most often used in EDs in the Netherlands and recommended by Dutch guidelines. In practice however a HB, does not always lead to adequate anesthesia, this might be because of poor infiltration into the fracture site. Ultrasound could additionally provide real-time guidance of injection into the fracture site, maximizing the analgesic effect of HB. In this study the effectiveness of analgesia of ultrasound HB will be compared to 'blind' HB in patients with a dislocated distal radius fracture. Patients with a confirmed dislocated fracture of the distal radius requiring closed reduction will be randomized to either ultrasound guided hematoma block or normal 'blind' hematoma block. NRS-scores will be given before, during and after hematoma block and during and after reduction of the fracture. These scores will be the primary endpoint of this study. ;
