Wrist Reduction Intervention: Supracondylar Technique for Radial Nerve Block vs. Hematoma Block (WRIST Block Study)
Sponsor: Sarasota Memorial Health Care System
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare different types of local anesthesia-a supracondylar radial nerve block, a hematoma block, or a combination of the two-for reducing pain in people with a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). This is being done to find out which method provides better pain relief after the injury and during treatment in the emergency room.

Interventions
Supracondylar radial nerve block
Supracondylar radial nerve blocks given at the radial nerve not as the same location of the fracture site, prior to fracture reduction.

Combination of blocks
Supracondylar radial nerve block given first, followed by hematoma block, before fracture reduction.
