Summary

Evaluation of the combination of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve "single shot" and femoral nerve "single shot" block as effective and safe alternative postoperative analgesic technique after hip replacement surgery.

Detailed description

Clinical evaluation via a prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial, whether ultrasound-guided single femoral block and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blocks with 20 en 10 cc bupivacaine 0.25% respectively vs. the only ultrasound-guided single femoral block with 20 cc bupivacaine 0.25%, given just prior to elective hip surgery procedure, is effective in reducing acute postoperative pain (VAS scores) and postoperative opiate consumption.
