Ultrasound-guided supracondylar radial nerve block for closed reduction of a distal radius fracture in the emergency department: Case report

The reduction of a distal radius fracture in the emergency room can be accomplished with safe and efficient analgesia using an ultrasound-guided supracondylar radial nerve block close to the beginning of the deep and superficial branches. This is, as far as we are aware, the first report of an ultrasound-guided supracondylar nerve block utilized to treat a distal radius fracture in our nation.
