Summary
Fracture femur is a common that results in severe pain. Many methods of regional and
peripheral analgesia have been described to treat such pain. In this study the investigators

adding dexmedetomidine to the used local anesthetic solution to prolong the duration of this
block and hence postoperative analgesia.
