Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block and Quadratus Lumborum Block in Hip and Proximal Femur Surgeries

Evaluation of Postoperative Analgesic Effect of Ultrasound Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block and Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum Block in Hip and Proximal Femur Surgery, Randomised Controlled Study

Multimodal analgesia is used to control postoperative pain in hip surgery. Quadratus lumborum block is an effective regional anesthesia technique for hip and proximal femur surgery. The erector spinae plane block applied to the lumbar region was also reported to provide effective analgesia in these surgeons. In this study, we aimed to determine and compare the effects of quadratus lumborum block and lumbar erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain in hip and proximal femur surgeons.
