Abstract
A simple safe technique of providing rapid, effective analgesia in children with femoral shaft fractures is described. It is particularly useful in patients who have associated head or abdominal injuries in the presence of which opiates should be withheld. The technique is recommended to all practitioners involved in the early care of femoral shaft fractures.Keywords
