Summary
Reducing pain is an essential factor for early mobilization after osteosynthesis of femoral
neck fractures. Systemic opioids have side effects that might obstruct mobilization and
induce delirium and nausea. The investigators hypothesized that wound infiltration results in
reduction in systemic opioid usage and pain relief without side effects.
