Summary

Investigators assess the anatomic landmarks for spinal anesthesia in patients with hip fracture using ultrasonography.

Detailed description

Investigators evaluate the anatomic landmarks using Tuffier's line and the tenth rib line for spinal anesthesia in patients with hip fracture, and then assess the consistency of the landmarks-guided interspinous levels with the actual interspinous level using ultrasonography.

Conditions

• Hip Fractures

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Noninvasive ultrasound assessment	An investigator evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using anatomic landmarks in turn, then another independent investigator assess the consistency of the landmarks-guided interspinous level with the actual one by noninvasive ultrasound assessment.
