Summary

The thoracic erector spinae plane (ESP) block was first described by Forero et al in September 2016. In their article, the authors presented the possibility of using this block as an option for the control of thoracic neuropathic pain as well as post-operative thoracic pain. The ESP block is done by administering local anesthetic in the plane deep to the erector spinae muscle, which spreads through the costotransverse foramen to the dorsal and ventral roots of the spinal nerves. Since then, there have been reports about the successful use of this block for bariatric surgery, ventral hernia repair, radical mastectomy, rib fractures, major abdominal surgery and hip replacement. However, there are no studies in the literature comparing the efficacy of the ESP block to other nerve blocks. The purpose of this study is to compare the post-operative analgesic efficacy of the ESP block to the fascia iliaca (FI) block after total hip replacement (THR).
