Brief Summary  
After obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval and written informed consent, 90 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria and undergoing elective surgery for fracture shaft of femur under spinal anaesthesia will be included.
Preoperative visit will be conducted on the previous day of surgery and detailed Pre-anaesthetic checkup (PAC) will be done. In the operation theatre, patient will be identified and received, written and informed consent, PAC, and fasting status will be checked. Routine non-invasive monitors will be attached and vital parameters like pre-operative pulse rate, non-invasive blood pressure, and oxygen saturation will be noted. Peripheral venous access will be established in upper limb with 18G IV cannula and intravenous Ringer Lactate solution will be started.
Patient randomization will be performed using opaque sealed envelope method. 

GROUP A (n=45): Patients will receive ultrasound guided Femoral nerve block with 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 2ml NS (total volume 17 ml) 

GROUP B (n=45): Patients will receive ultrasound guided Femoral nerve block with 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 1ug /kg of dexmedetomidine dilute in NS to make 2 ml (Total volume 17 ml) 

Depending on the allotted group, under all aseptic precautions, patients will receive the respective block under ultrasound guidance in the Operation Theatre. NRS score will be assessed at every 1 min interval up to 20 min until the NRS is <3. This time will be noted. When NRS will be < 3 under all aseptic precautions subarachnoid block will be given in sitting position in L3-L4 space with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg +25 microgram of fentanyl using 25G Quincke’s needle. When adequate sensory and motor blockade will be achieved, surgery will be started. Intraoperative parameters such as Heart Rate, SBP, DBP, MAP and SpO2 will be monitored according to proforma. When surgery will be completed patients will be shifted to PACU. Inj. Tramadol 100 mg will be given as rescue analgesic and vitals will be monitored for 24 hours. Side effects, if any, will be noted, and managed accordingly.

 In postoperative period

  1. NRS score will be assessed at hourly interval for 6 hours then at every 2 hour interval for 12 hours and then 4 hour interval for 24 hours.
  2. Time for need for first rescue analgesia will be recorded. This time will be calculated from the time of administering the block to request of first rescue analgesia by patient at NRS score >3.
  3. The mean dose of analgesic required for 24 hours in both groups will be noted.
  4. Quadriceps muscle strength will be assessed.
  5. Sedation score and Patient satisfaction will be assessed.
  6. Haemodynamic parameters will be monitored as per proforma.
  7. Side effects/complications if any will be recorded.
