The radiographic quality of conservatively managed distal radius fractures in adults using haematoma block versus intravenous sedation.

Objective: We compared the radiographic quality of initial reduction of distal radius fractures reduced using haematoma block to those reduced with intravenous sedation. The overall rate of re-manipulation and complications were noted.

Methods: A prospective study carried out at the emergency unit of our hospital between 1st September, 2017 and 31st December, 2018.
