- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary objectives of this study are to investigate whether axillary nerve<br /><br>block leads to a decrease in pain compared to control patients. This will be<br /><br>measured through a raw pain intensity difference (PID) using visual analogue<br /><br>pain score after fracture reduction. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The secondary parameters of this study includes pain measured in rest, during<br /><br>physical examination, after the analgesia procedure, after fracture reduction,<br /><br>after plaster cast application, after control radiograph, secondary loss of<br /><br>reduction measured on plain radiographs.</p><br>
