Comparative study of efficacy of Ultrasound guided Pericapsular Nerve Group block combined with Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve of thigh and Pericapsular Nerve block alone for postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing surgeries for fractures around the hip joint

Fractures around the hip Joint are common fractures occurring in the elderly population which have significant degree of morbidity and mortality . A good postoperative pain relief after surgical management under subarachnoid block is required for early recovery and mobilization . Multimodal analgesia with paracetamol , NSAIDS , opioids and the newer ultrasonography guided nerve blocks are the mainstay of management .Two such Ultrasound guided nerve blocks are PENG block and LFCN block are both being used alone or in combination . Hence study undertaken to compare the efficacy of postoperative pain relief of PENG block with LFCN block vs PENG block alone.
