Conditions
Brief summary
Hematoma block and Intravenous analgesia are both simple options, as none of these techniques require expertise or special equipments . Hematoma block is not compared with IV analgesia in children with fractures of lower segment of limbs before. In view of the above, a study is to be undertaken to evaluate the effects of hematoma block and Intravenous analgesic for closed reduction of fractures and for immediate pain relief in individuals.
Interventions
Hematoma block and intravenous analgesia are the two interventions which will be administered by the Surgeon. Patients will be randomized to one of the groups. Each patient will only recieve one intervention.
The intervention will be administered immediately before the fracture reduction.
Hematoma block: Fracture hematoma will be injected with 2% lignocaine in a dose of 0.5 ml/kg.
Intravenous analgesia: Injection Ketorolac (Toradol) will be injected in the Cubital vein of the contralateral l
