Summary

The wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) has been widely used in the field of hand surgery in recent years. This surgical method has progressed to open reduction and internal fixation of distal radial fracture and radial or ulnar shaft fractures. However, there are still many unclear points for clinicians, including the perioperative subjective feedback from the patient and changes in postoperative pain. In this study, participants having forearm fractures should undergo open reduction and internal fixation were randomized to general anesthesia or WALANT. The investigators will compare the differences in perioperative subjective and objective assessments of these participants during surgery, as well as the prognosis and function after surgery.
