Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) Block Versus Fascia Iliaca (FIC) Block for Multimodal Analgesia After Total Hip Replacement Surgery: a Retrospective Analysis
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Peripheral nerve blocks for Regional Anesthesia Morbidity and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background: Optimal pain control with limited muscle weakness is paramount for a swift initiation of physical therapy and ambulation. Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) has been recommended since it offers the best pain control with low risk of motor block. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block has been proposed as an effective alternative to FICB that offers similar pain control with a considerably lower risk of motor block. This study aimed to compare the afore mentioned blocks and determine which one yielded the lowest NRS score.

Interventions
Peripheral nerve blocks provide intense, site-specific analgesia administring local anesthetics near the nerves.
