Lateral Cutaneous Nerve and PENG Blocks Versus Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block in Post-op Analgesia of Hip Fractures

Postoperative pain in hip fractures is challenging and requires adequate management. Peripheral nerve blocks are already known as superior than systemic analgesia in this scenario, but the best analgesic regional technique is still unknown. The investigators propose a study to compare the postoperative analgesia of hip fractures between pericapsular nerve group block plus lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca block
