The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of preoperative and post-operative analgesia by pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) block with supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIC) block compared with PENG block with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block (LFCN) block in ease of giving a sitting position for spinal anesthesia and reducing narcotic consumption during the first 24 hour post-operatively and functional recovary by using the Visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain.

The established practice to decrease pain using opioids in hip fracture surgery may result in compromised outcomes in the frail and elderly population with nausea-vomiting, constipation, delirium and respiratory depression. This popularized the regional analgesic techniques in the surgical treatment of hip fractures. Femoral nerve (FN) and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIC) block are documented to provide good peri-operative analgesia with reduced need for opioids.

The latest pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) block, is an interfacial plane block targeting the articular branches of the femoral, obturator (ON) and accessory obturator nerves (AON) at the hip.

An ability to perform in supine positioning, which is especially important in patients with acute hip fractures or chronic pain is an indigenous advantage of PENG block. Due to the blockade of only sensory articular branches, substantial motor weakness is unexpected. But exclusive use of PENG block for analgesia in hip fracture patients is not sufficient as it doesn't involve the cutaneous pain-generating area supplied by the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block (LFCN).
