Brief Summary   This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the effect of dexmedetomidine versus ketamine given intraoperative o postoperative analgesia in fracture femur patients operated under subarachnoid block. Total 75 patients will be recruited with 25 in each group (group dexmedetomidine, group ketamine, control group). The primary outcome is to compare postoperative analgesia and duration of analgesia after fracture femur surgery in dexmedetomidine versus ketamine group and the secondary outcome is to assess cumulative rescue analgesic requirement in different groups, to compare hemodynamic effects, side effects
