Efficacy of perifracture site injections for pain control following distal radius and ankle fracture surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled

Surgical site analgesic injections are used as part of multimodal analgesia in elective orthopedic surgery, but their effectiveness in orthopedic trauma surgery, particularly for distal extremity fractures, remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of peri-fracture site local analgesic injections on postoperative pain and opioid consumption after distal radius and ankle fracture surgery.
