AB The  relief  of  pain  and  suffering  is  one  of  the  most  important  acts  that  a  physician  undertakes.  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  in  order  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.
