Summary
This study looks at how giving dexamethasone (a steroid) through a vein versus near the nerves affects pain after arm or hand surgery in children. 90 kids will be randomly assigned to one of three groups to compare pain levels, need for extra pain medicine, and recovery. The goal is to find the best way to reduce pain and inflammation after surgery.
