Postop Pain Control in Hip Fracture Surgery: Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block Versus Fracture Block

Withdrawn before enrolling · Early Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Hip Fractures, Analgesia, Opioid Use, Pain, Postoperative

In brief

The investigators propose to investigate the effect of intraoperative FICB and intrafragmentary fracture blockade on postoperative pain and opiate consumption using a randomized controlled trial study design. There will be three treatment groups: (1) fascia iliaca compartment blockade administered after surgical fixation using the loss of resistance technique with 30cc 0.25% marcaine (2) intrafragmentary fracture block using fluoroscopy guidance after surgical fixation with 30cc 0.25% marcaine and (3) placebo group, with no intervention.
