简要总结
The aim of the project is to evaluate the beneficial and harmful effects of an ultrasound-guided brachial plexus nerve block for patients with a distal radius (wrist) fracture in the need of realignment of fractured bone endings without cutting the skin (closed reduction), in comparison to a haematoma block, which is standard care in Denmark.
Every participant will receive one of the following types of anaesthesia for the realignment of the wrist fracture:
- A nerve block of the arm (plexus brachialis block)
- A haematoma block, which is the current standard anaesthesia in the emergency departments.

盲法说明
Due to the nature of the intervention, it is unfeasible to blind the patients, the doctor who performs the brachial plexus nerve block and the doctor who performs the standard care and the closed reduction. As a result, data on patient evaluated outcomes, i.e. maximum pain score during closed reduction; maximum pain within the first 24 hours after closed reduction; pain at rest; discomfort related to the anaesthetic procedure; overall satisfaction with the treatment; PRWE; DASH; EQ-5D-5L; and data on the closed reduction, i.e. number of attempts used for closed reduction and difficulty of closed reduction of the fracture, will be reported unblinded. Importantly, other caregivers and all outcome assessors are blinded, including the doctor who evaluate the radiographic results and assess the need for surgery, as well as all personnel involved in the subsequent outcome evaluations.
