Video Summary

The procedure involves administering local anesthesia for a surgical site. Start by injecting 1ml at the proximal aspect and wait to allow the anesthesia to take effect, using a 30-gauge needle for subcutaneous injection. Continue injecting carefully, ensuring the needle does not extend beyond the swollen area, until the incision site is covered. A total of 10ml is used. For periosteal injection, divide into three areas with a 25-gauge needle, injecting a total of 10ml in each area while carefully navigating the bone to avoid neurovascular injury. The goal is to achieve pain relief during fracture manipulation.
