Summary

This study tests whether showing children an animated video of the procedure during pin removal can lower their pain and anxiety. About 120 kids aged 4 to 12 who had elbow fracture surgery will be randomly assigned to watch the video or not. Researchers will measure pain and anxiety using standard scales before, during, and after the procedure.
