Caudal Dexmedetomidine vs Ketamine for Postoperative Analgesia in Pediatric DDH Surgery

This study compares two medicines, Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine, added to caudal Bupivacaine to control pain after hip surgery in children. We will check how well each medicine reduces pain, how long the pain relief lasts, and if children need extra pain medicine. The goal is to find the safest and most effective option for postoperative pain relief in children undergoing hip surgery.
