“…[6][7][8] Avoiding general anesthesia and sedation has many benefits, including no need for certain preoperative investigations, easier immediate postoperative patient recovery with no nausea or vomiting, a shorter hospital stay, and safe management of patients with multiple medical comorbidities such as morbid obesity and diabetes. 9 The WALANT technique has been shown to be highly effective in carpal tunnel release, 10,11 tendon repair, 12,13 Dupuytren's disease, 14 trapeziectomy, 9 tendon transfer, 15 and finger fractures. 16 Anesthesia for distal radius fractures traditionally includes a tourniquet and general or regional anesthesia with intravenous sedation.…”

ObjectiveThe use of wide-awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet (WALANT) is becoming an excellent alternative for elective hand surgeries and hand surgeries involving minor trauma. Although the use of WALANT for some soft tissue surgeries has become the state of the art, data regarding bony procedures, such as fracture management, under WALANT are limited. This study was performed to assess the WALANT technique for open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures.MethodsFive patients with displaced distal radius fractures were enrolled in the study. WALANT was carried out about 30 minutes prior to the first incision. Surgery was performed in the normal fashion, and the fractures were fixed using anatomic locking plates. After surgery, the patients were admitted overnight for observation and pain assessment, and they were discharged within 24 hours postoperatively. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Follow-up was performed in our outpatient clinic. No abnormalities were recorded.ResultsAll patients underwent a successful painless surgery. No extra bleeding or other complications were recorded.ConclusionThe WALANT technique offers a simple and safe alternative to traditional anesthetic techniques for open reduction and plating of distal radius fractures.
