The study propose that using femoral rami obturator nerve trunk(FRONT) block may help postoperative analgesia in nail femur surgeries. The technique is relatively new, introducing one needle to target two nerve blocks in the same entry point. The block spare motor fibers of femoral nerve so it may help both early mobilization and effective analgesia, which in turn enhance early recovery and better outcomes.

Post operative pain levels after hip fracture are high during ambulation and may worsen outcome after hip fracture. Regional anesthesia has shown to facilitate rehabilitation in orthopedics procedures. Many of these regional anesthesia techniques ,such as femoral nerve, lumber plexus, peri capsular nerve group(PENG), fascia iliaca blocks have gained attention for their opioid and some times for motor sparing potential, as well as the ability to provide targeted analgesia for anterior hip joint. Nevertheless the anterior hip joint coverage needs the constant contribution of femoral and obturator nerves to provide adequate pain relieve. In this study patients will receive preoperative femoral rami obturator nerve trunk(FRONT) block , a novel regional anesthesia technique described by Jessen et al., as a promising solution to the long-standing challenge of anesthetizing both the femoral and obturator nerve branches in anterior hip joint for postoperative pain control, addressing a more comprehensive coverage of anterior hip innervation.
