Study Summary

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.

Primary Outcome

Hannallah et al developed the Objective Pain Scale (OPS) to monitor pain in children after surgery. Parameters: (1) systolic blood pressure, (2) crying, (3) movement, (4) agitation (confused, excited), (5) complains of pain (may not be possible in younger children). Interpretation: minimum score: 0; maximum score: 10; maximum score if too young to complain of pain: 8; the higher the score, the greater the degree of pain.
