To identify the benefits from regional anesthesia use as pain management in the pediatric population by delineating the differences in efficacy of continuous nerve blockade versus single-shot techniques after pediatric orthopaedic limb procedures. By doing this, the investigators can determine if specific anesthetic techniques should become a standard of care in pain management for the pediatric population and supersede the need for opioid medication.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous Regional Anesthesia Lower Limb Surgery | Experimental | Various types of regional anesthesia blocks will be performed based on the patient's injuries including fascia iliaca plane blocks, femoral nerve blocks, adductor canal blocks, popliteal approach sciatic nerve blocks, and saphenous nerve blocks A catheter will be placed for the given block for 48 hours. Those patients undergoing lower limb orthopaedic surgery will be randomized into single shot or continuous (catheter) regional anesthesia. |
|
| Single Shot Regional Anesthesia Lower Limb Surgery | Experimental | Various types of regional anesthesia blocks will be performed based on the patient's injuries including fascia iliaca plane blocks, femoral nerve blocks, adductor canal blocks, popliteal approach sciatic nerve blocks, and saphenous nerve blocks. These blocks will be given via a single dose or "single shot". Those patients undergoing lower limb orthopaedic surgery will be randomized into single shot or continuous (catheter) regional anesthesia. |
|
| Continuous Regional Anesthesia Upper Limb Surgery | Experimental | Various types of regional anesthesia blocks involving the brachial plexus will be performed based on the patient's injuries. A catheter will be placed for the given block for 48 hours. Those patients undergoing upper limb orthopaedic surgery will be randomized into single shot or continuous (catheter) regional anesthesia. |
