A Comparison of UGSB and GA to IV Narcotics and GA for Post-Op Pain in Children With Supracondylar Fractures.

Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Supracondylar Fractures

In brief

This study compares nerve blocks to IV pain medicines in children with broken arms. We are trying to see if blocking the nerves in the broken arm results in better pain control and less side effects than injections of morphine into a vein after surgery for a broken elbow.
