Summary

This study is a small pilot trial to see if giving older adults a nerve block (a numbing injection) before leg fracture surgery is feasible for a larger study. Researchers want to know if this approach can reduce complications and improve recovery, beyond just pain relief. About 34 people aged 50 and older with certain leg fractures will be enrolled to test recruitment and data collection methods.
