Posterior Pericapsular Deep Gluteal Block Combined With Pericapsular Nerve Group and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Blocks for Hip Surgery Analgesia

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postoperative Pain, Hip Osteoarthritis, Hip Fractures

In brief

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of adding a Posterior Pericapsular Deep gluteal block to two other standard nerve blocks-the Pericapsular Nerve Group block and the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve block-for patients undergoing orthopedic hip surgery. While standard blocks target the front of the hip, many patients still feel pain in the back (posterior) of the joint. Researchers will compare two groups of patients to see if this triple-block combination provides better pain relief and reduces the need for rescue opioid medications in the 24 hours following surgery.
