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

Background: Closed reduction and a closed cast are common treatments for patients with acute distal radius fractures in the emergency room. Many of the common analgesic techniques such as hematoma block may not be effective, which can hinder the stabilization and reduction of fractures.

Case Report: An 81-year-old woman who had a Colle's fracture (metaphyseal fracture with dorsal angulation) of the left distal radius arrived at the emergency room.
