PENG and LFCN Block Versus Lumbar Plexus Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Hip Arthroplasty

Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound Guided Combined Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Versus Lumbar Plexus Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Hip Arthroplasty: Randomized Clinical Study.

Regional anesthesia for postoperative analgesia in THA includes epidural anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks. However epidural anesthesia has a great role in THA, it has become restricted as perioperative antithrombotic drugs are generally used for orthopedic patients.

the study aim to evaluate and compare efficacy and safety of pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) block and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve versus Lumbar plexus block on postoperative analgesia in hip surgery.
