Regional Anesthesia in Hip Arthroscopy
- Conditions
- Femoroacetabular Impingement
- Interventions
- Drug: regional anesthesia placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT02674113
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Missouri-Columbia
- Brief Summary
- The purpose of this research is to determine differences in outcomes in patients who receive regional anesthesia (a fascia iliaca block) versus placebo prior to undergoing hip arthroscopy with labral repair and/or debridement and osteoplasty for hip impingement. 
- Detailed Description
- Methods: After informed consent is obtained at a routine/pre-surgical clinic visit, all patients who meet eligibility criteria will undergo randomization into one of two groups. These groups are 1) to receive regional anesthesia (a single shot fascia iliaca block using bupivacaine) prior to hip arthroscopy, or 2) undergo a subcutaneous injection procedure using a normal saline placebo (0.9% sodium chloride in water) instead of bupivacaine. Intra-operatively, both groups will receive general anesthesia and local anesthesia (lidocaine and bupivacaine in the peripheral compartment).

- Primary Outcome Measures
- Name - Time - Method - Subject log to record number of pain pills taken by subject for 7 days - 7 days - A log that is used by the subject to record how many oral pain medications they take for 7 days. 
- Secondary Outcome Measures
- Name - Time - Method - Duration of time in PACU - immediately post-op, on average between 1-4 hours - Visual analog pain scale - 6 weeks - Patient reported outcome. These will be completed at the pre-operative and all post-operative clinic visits. - Reported Falls Post-op - Time inpatient, on average 12-48 hours - iHOT-12 (international hip outcome tool) - 6 weeks - Patient reported outcome. These will be completed at the pre-operative and all post-operative clinic visits. - Record of Pain Medication given in PACU - immediately post-op (while in PACU, on average 1-4 hours total) - Record narcotic requirements in PACU - Harris Hip score - 6 weeks - Patient reported outcome. These will be completed at the pre-operative and all post-operative clinic visits. - Unplanned admissions and/or readmissions - 6 weeks - number of unplanned admissions/readmission - HOOS (hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score) - 6 weeks - Patient reported outcome. These will be completed at the pre-operative and all post-operative clinic visits. - Days until starting rehabilitation - immediately post-op, on average 24 hours - 2 weeks - Patient satisfaction - 6 weeks
