To determine which nerve block suits better for pain relief around hip joint in patients undergoing hip surgery

Phase 4

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: Although limited data available suggests that the use of Lumbar Erector Spinae plane block in the proximal femur surgeries for the post operative analgesia, the data is mostly in the form of case series and case reports. To establish the efficacy of the Lumbar Erector Spine Plane block further validation and research is needed. Therefore, we intend to compare the efficacy of the Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block with the Pericapsular Nerve Group Block in the patients with proximal femur surgeries for reducing the need for post operative analgesia and early post operative mobilization and try to make a total pain free environmentfor the patient both in the preoperative and postoperative period.
