Fascia Iliaca Versus Quadratus Lumborum Block for Pain Management in Total Hip Replacement.

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Postoperative Opioid Requirements in Patients With Traumatic Fracture Hip
• Interventions: Procedure: Quadratus lumborum block; Procedure: Fascia Iliaca block

• Registration Number: NCT05504525
• Lead Sponsor: Ain Shams University

Brief Summary

Postoperative analgesia is essential for early ambulation of patients with hip arthroplasties as well as decreasing hospital stay time. Fascial plane blocks are emerging as a gold standard for postoperative analgesia instead of opioids and NSAIDs, with all there side effects.

The investigators aim to compare postoperative pain levels and opioid analgesic needs of fascia iliaca block versus quadratus lumborum block in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia.
