Postoperative Analgesia With Local Infiltration After Femoral Neck Fracture

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Femoral Neck Fracture
• Interventions: Drug: Ropivacaine

• Registration Number: NCT00529425
• Lead Sponsor: Odense University Hospital

Brief Summary

Reducing pain is an essential factor for early mobilization after osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures. Systemic opioids have side effects that might obstruct mobilization and induce delirium and nausea. The investigators hypothesized that wound infiltration results in reduction in systemic opioid usage and pain relief without side effects.
