Summary
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the main elective orthopedic surgery. Recent studies
have proven that patients undergoing an elective THA who are part of a fast track surgery
program including an opioid free anesthesia (OFA) presented a decrease of mortality and a
reduced in-hospital length of stay. Based on the anatomical knowledges, the Quadratus
Lumborum Block seems to be an interesting locoregional technique for patients undergoing THA.
So far, there is no recommanded locoregional aesthesia in this indication. The investigators
hypothezised that QLB would give an efficient analgesia in the 24h following a THA.
Therefor, the study performed a prospective, randomized, double blind trial in the Nice
Universitary hospital of Pasteur 2 and in Arnault Tzanck Institute among all patients who
underwent THA, comparing a QLB using ropivacaïne 2mg/ml 20ml vs isotonic saline solution 20
ml.The main end-point is the decrease opiod consumption in the 24h following THA.
