Summary

This study compares 2 commonly used interventions (regional pain blocks) used in hip arthroplasty for pain control. One of the interventions is newer and not widely established.

Detailed description

This study will compare the FICB to the PENG/LFCN blocks. Patient reported pain scores on a verbal numeric rating scale will be utilized and recorded in the PACU and postoperatively at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hours after patient arrival in the PACU. Additionally, opioid consumption will be converted to morphine milliequivalents and compared between groups.

Conditions

• Analgesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Pericapsular Nerve Group Block with Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block	Local anesthetic will be deposited along the lower pelvis to block 3 nerves that innervate the anterior hip capsule
PROCEDURE	Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block	Local anesthetic is deposited between the fascia iliaca and the internal oblique muscle in an attempt to block 3 nerves that innervate the hip.
