A Prospective, Double-blinded, Randomized Comparison of Ultrasound-guided Femoral Nerve Block With Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block Versus Standard Anesthetic Management for Traumatic Femur Fracture Repair in the Pediatric Population
The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare post-operative pain relief in pediatric
patients undergoing traumatic femur fracture repair who have received either a femoral nerve
block with a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block or a standard anesthetic for analgesia.
