Summary
Iliac crest bone graft harvest is associated with acute pain that can lead to chronic
postoperative pain. Local anesthetic infiltration and regional anesthesia could be of
interest to reduce opioid consumption during and after surgery, reduce hyperalgesia and the
associated risk of chronic postoperative pain. In this surgery, local anesthetic infiltration
of the iliac crest is associated with a pain reduction compare with placebo.
Some studies have shown the benefit of a TAP (transversus abdominal block) for postoperative
analgesia after iliac crest bone graft harvest. The TFP block (transversalis fascia plane
block) has been recently described. Considering the nerves trajectories, the TFP block is
probably anatomically the most appropriate block for analgesia after iliac crest bone graft
harvest.
The aim of this study is therefore to assess the benefit of an ultrasound TFP block for
analgesia after iliac crest bone graft harvest compare with local anesthetic infiltration
Design is prospective, randomized, double blind, controlled study
