Extract

Fracture femur is a common that results in severe pain. Many methods of regional and peripheral analgesia have been described to treat such pain. In this study the investigators consider using paravertebral block to treat post-fracture pain. Additionally, they consider adding dexmedetomidine to the used local anesthetic solution to prolong the duration of this block and hence postoperative analgesia.
