Summary
Hip arthroplasty surgery is frequently performed on elderly patients in the community and it
is associated with long-term postoperative hospital stays and high mortality.
Postoperative pain management is a multimodal process that includes intravenous and regional
anesthesia methods. The ultrasound(US) guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is injected
with a local anesthetic into the deep fascia of the erector spinae. In the literature, it has
been reported that ESPB provides effective analgesia after a hip surgery. The fascia iliaca
compartment block (FICB) is a safe method used for postoperative analgesia following hip,
femoral, and knee surgeries.
The aim of this study is to compare US-guided FICB and ESPB for postoperative analgesia
management after total hip prosthesis surgery.
