Pericapsular nerve group (PENG block) is a new fascial block defined by Arango et al. This
block aims to block the femoral nerve and the accessory obturator nerve by injecting local
anesthetic between the pubic ramus and psoas tendon. By blocking these nerves, anterior hip
analgesia is created. It is a safe and effective method as it is applied superficially and
under ultrasound guidance. In radiological and cadaver studies, it has been reported that
when high volume is applied, total hip analgesia can be achieved by blocking the lateral
femoral cutaneous, genitofemoral, obturator, and femoral nerves.
