Effect of Anesthesia in Fracture Healing

Summary

Investigator' s study designed to investigate effect of general and regional anesthesia on fracture healing.The 40 age and older ASAI-III patients who will operate due to femur fracture (except femur neck fracture) will be enrolled in this study after informed consent approval. Subjects will be divided into two groups by a computerized randomization method. 40 patients will be enrolled in this study. General anesthesia will perform for 20 patients. Regional anesthesia will perform for 20 patients. Preoperative, 4. week and 12. weeks laboratory test which include blood and urine β-C terminal telopeptid (β-CTX), blood alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin will test for all patients. All patients will not use nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs during study neither perioperative nor postoperative periods. fracture healing will be asses with clinical evaluation and laboratory tests.
