Overview

Assessing the reduction in pain and anxiety by the use of showing an animated video of the procedure, among pediatric patients undergoing pin removal after fixation of supracondylar fractures.

Description

Supracondylar fractures requiring K-wire fixation ultimately undergo pin removal after fracture fixation. This is a cause of pain and anxiety to children. This study aims to curtail the aforementioned troubles by distracting the patient using an animated video of the procedure. Patients will be randomized into two arms, and pain and anxiety scales will be implemented before, during, and after the procedure to assess whether a change exists between the two arms.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with supracondylar fractures operated on for percutaneous K-wire fixation.
  • Age between 4 to 12 years

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any syndromic patients
  • Patients having any visual or cognitive disability
  • Patients having any pre-operative or post-operative complications before pin removal.
  • Patients undergoing the procedure under general anesthesia.
  • Age \<4 or \>12
