Fracture Dislocation

The aim of the project is to evaluate the beneficial and harmful effects of an ultrasound-guided brachial plexus nerve block for patients with a distal radius (wrist) fracture in the need of realignment of fractured bone endings without cutting the skin (closed reduction), in comparison to a haematoma block, which is standard care in Denmark. Every participant will receive one of the following types of anaesthesia for the realignment of the wrist fracture: 1. A nerve block of the arm (plexus brachialis block) 2. A haematoma block, which is the current standard anaesthesia in the emergency departments.

The objective of this study is to collect and evaluate long-term clinical outcomes data in order to better understand the safety and performance of the Equinoxe Proximal Humerus Fracture Plates over time. This study will follow subjects for a period of up to 10 years post-surgery.
