Study type | Interventional |
The goal of this study is to compare different ways of treating pain after surgery. This
research study involves subjects who have a supracondylar elbow fracture and need surgery.
This type of fracture occurs when the humerus (upper arm bone) is broken just above the
elbow. Like any other surgery, you can expect that you will feel pain in the hours or days
after the operation. Currently, despite the common occurrence of this surgery, there is not
a standard way to treat and or prevent any of the pain afterwards.
At this hospital, oral (take by mouth) pain medicine is commonly used to treat pain after
this surgery.
In this study, pain will be treated in one of the following ways:
1. with oral pain medication
2. with oral pain medicine and an intraarticular shot (a shot into the elbow joint) of
bupivacaine (a "numbing" drug) or
3. with oral pain medicine and an intraarticular shot of ropivacaine (another "numbing"
drug). The shots will be given during surgery. Your participation will help us find out
which of these three pain control methods works the best.
The correct dosages of all drugs will be safely prescribed by the doctor on an individual
basis and all drugs will be used under the careful watch of your attending physician. All
the drugs used this study are approved by the FDA for use in adults but they are not
specifically approved for use in children. However, nearly 7 out of every 10 drugs approved
for adults are not specifically approved by the FDA for use in children. All drugs used in
this study will be used in a way that is considered to be safe and reasonable by the
Children's Hospital.

Inclusion Criteria: - ASA class I, II or III - Patients 4-12 years old requiring general anesthesia for closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) of supracondylar type elbow fractures (SCEFx). - Patients able to understand and report their pain with the Faces Pain Scale Revised Exclusion Criteria: - Medical contraindications to analgesic therapy. - Known allergy or sensitivity to analgesic agent. - Clinical evidence of skin inflammation precluding the 'clean' area at the site of injection. - Patients lacking the cognitive understanding to report their pain with the FSP-R (unable to complete seriation task). - Patients necessitating open reduction due to inability to obtain an acceptable closed reduction. - Comorbid diagnosis of other traumatic injury that causes any local and or global pain. - Patients presenting to ER with neurovascular injury or compartment syndrome due to fracture. - For patients in either of the two intervention arms, if after three attempts, the intraarticular injection is not successful, the patient will be dropped from the study. - Patients admitted for complications directly related to the surgery will be dropped from analysis. Any such event will be immediately reported to COMIRB with in five business days. However, patients admitted due to a late afternoon/evening surgery and patients admitted for standard observational purposes unrelated to surgical complications, will not be dropped from the study. - Known drug allergy to oxycodone and or acetaminophen. - Children 4-7 years old weighing less than 14 kg (Weight exclusion criteria is based on a 4 year old female that is below the fifth percentile for weight, per the Center for Disease Control Growth Charts). - Children 8-12 years old weighing less than 20 kg (Weight exclusion criteria based on an 8 year old female that is below the fifth percentile for weight, per the Center for Disease Control Growth Charts). |

Primary | The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FSP-R) Scores (Scored 0-10). | The Faces Pain Scale Revised is a dimensionless 10 point likert scale used to assess self-reported pain intensity on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most pain you can imagine). Greater pain scores are indicative of more severe pain. | Will be obtained 30 - 60 minutes after arrival to the recovery room | No |
Secondary | Total Quality Pain Management Survey (TQPM) Scores for Questions # 16: Child's Current Level of Pain, Question # 17: Child's Worst Level of Pain When Moving Around After Surgery and Question # 18: Child's Worst Level of Pain While Resting | Total quality pain management survey is validated survey used to assess parents' perceptions of their child's pain. Pain is assessed on a dimensionless 10 pt likert scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). Greater pain scores are indicative or more severe pain. | Will be obtained from parent(s) 120 minutes after arrival to the recovery room | No |
Secondary | Time (in Minutes) to First Narcotic Administration | first 72 hours after surgery close time | No | |
Secondary | Total Dosage in Morphine Equivalents (mg/kg) of All Analgesics Received in Prior to Discharge | Analgesic data collected during first four hours following the end of surgery (surgery close) | No | |
Secondary | Need for IV Morphine of Fentanyl | Indicates that number of subjects that were in severe pain and thus required IV morphine and/or fentanyl. | First 120 minutes after the end of surgery (surgery close time) | No |
