Summary
The investigators aim to compare the use of a suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block
vs lumbar plexus block as an adjunct to general anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoing
orthopedic procedures involving the hip or upper femur. This study will help determine the
efficacy of the two techniques and their advantages when compared to each other including
time to perform the block, opioid consumption reduction, effects on postoperative pain, and
the length of stay.
