Summary
This study proposes to evaluate the efficacy of single shot erector spinae block (ESB) versus
single shot quadratus lumborum block (QLB) when used in conjunction with continuous lumbar
plexus block (LPB) for postoperative analgesia in children and adolescents undergoing
unilateral hip surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of the
QL vs. ESP blocks as supplements to the lumbar plexus block with respect to pain control
outcomes after hip PAO surgery. Both blocks are safe and easy to perform. There is currently
no comparative, prospective data concerning the use of these two blocks for hip surgery. The
investigational hypothesis is that there will be no clinical difference in the amount of
opioid consumed or the overall pain control offered by these two block options.
