Detailed description

Patient demographics, mechanism of injury, femur fracture classification, associated treatments, pre-procedural pain scoring, post-procedural pain scoring, orthopedic consultation, and patient outcomes (discharge, admission to ward or ICU, mortality) will be recorded on the data form. For acute pain management, the timing of treatment administration, effectiveness of the applied method based on pre- and post-procedural pain scoring systems will be assessed.

The patients will be analyzed in 5 groups based on the treatments administered in the emergency department. 1. IV Opioid 2. IV NSAID 3. IV acetaminophen 4. Femoral nerve block 5.
