Patients with previous history of surgeries around the elbow, neurological impairment of injured limb, polytrauma, undergoing pain management for different causes, and open or old fractures were excluded.

There existed no significant differences between the two groups in age, sex, fracture side, and types of elbow procedures. As for the pain response after lateral condyle fracture of the humerus (LCFH), the FLACC pain scale was significantly higher for those in the GA group (6.2 \u00b1 0.8) when compared to the GA + BPB group (1.6 \u00b1 0.5) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001).
