Summary
Reducing pain is an essential factor for early mobilization after osteosynthesis of
intertrochanteric 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.
