Effect of Bupivacaine Concentration on Ultrasound Guided Pericapsular Group Nerve Block Efficacy in Hip Surgery Patients

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-09-30
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Fractures in and around the hip are quite common irrespective of both the young and elderly population groups and are associated with extreme pain.The anterior hip capsule is innervated by articular branches of femoral nerve, obturator nerve and accessory obturator nerve (AON) as reported by previous anatomic studies, suggesting that these nerves should be the main targets for hip analgesia, which can be blocked by Peri-capsular nerve group (PENG).
