Pain relief following orthopedic injuries should be provided universally and promptly, with rare exception. In addition, throughout this book, there are descriptions of fracture and dislocation reductions as well as soft-tissue repairs that will require significant anesthesia to perform successfully and compassionately. As such, this chapter serves as a reference for the safe and effective use of pain medications, procedural sedation, local anesthesia, and regional anesthesia used in emergency orthopedics. Finally, the clinical use of heat and cold is reviewed in patients with orthopedic injuries.
