The surgical repair of the hip is considered an extremely painful procedure. Managing pain in this surgery is challenging with several options available, each with limitations. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a novel technique with promising results that have been reported in different types of surgery. Herein, we describe a case of successful ESP block for pediatric hip surgery which could be in the future an alternative technique for providing effective analgesia.
