The researchers aimed to compare the effects of adding a Deep Posterior Gluteal Compartment Block to a Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (SFICB) versus SFICB alone on pain, analgesic consumption, and positioning pain for neuraxial anesthesia.

Adding Deep Posterior Gluteal Compartment Block to Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block applied before neuraxial anesthesia in hip fracture surgeries can reduce the pain sensation originating from the posterior region of the hip joint. Thus, participants can experience less pain in the perioperative period, consume less analgesics and reduce complications related to these in the postoperative period. In addition, possible complications can be prevented with early mobilization of the participants. It was aimed to compare the effects of adding Deep Posterior Gluteal Compartment Block to Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block with only Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block on these results.
