Management of Scaphoid Pseudoarthrosis Surgery With Wide-Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) Versus Axillary Block Anesthesia: Comparison of Patient Satisfaction
Abstract:Objectives: We aimed to compare clinical and functional results of treatment of scaphoid pseudoarthrosis between patients undergoing wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) versus axillary block anesthesia. Methods: The patients diagnosed with scaphoid non-union who underwent pseudoarthoris surgery were divided into WALANT group ( n = 12) and axial block group ( n = 11). Visual analog scores (VAS) were measured by calling the patients via phone on postoperative days 1, 2, 3, and 7. The VASs were… Show more
