Summary
IV and included steroids have produced the same length of block prolongation in adults as if
the steroid was given with the nerve block. Clinically, this has not be noticed in children.
The objective of this study is to examine this in young patients. The investigator will
blindly give the steroid either in the IV or in the block solution (perineural). This is a
prospective double blind study.
