Yet, while pain management in these cases is crucial not only for immediate comfort but also for long-term outcomes, a recent study published in Injury by New York Medical College faculty and students found that not only were patients from lower socioeconomic backgrounds less likely to receive peripheral nerve block (PNB), but overall regional anesthesia for pediatric femur fractures was underutilized nationally.
