Summary
The investigators propose to investigate the effect of intraoperative FICB and
intrafragmentary fracture blockade on postoperative pain and opiate consumption using a
randomized controlled trial study design. There will be three treatment groups: (1) fascia
iliaca compartment blockade administered after surgical fixation using the loss of resistance
technique with 30cc 0.25% marcaine (2) intrafragmentary fracture block using fluoroscopy
guidance after surgical fixation with 30cc 0.25% marcaine and (3) placebo group, with no
intervention.
