In hip fractures reductions the commonly used blocks are the femoral nerve block and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) analgesia and anesthesia. Since the articular branches that innervate the hip joint arise at a higher level along the course of the nerves.[1] Hence these blocks may not provide sufficient analgesia for the hip fractures patients both pre-operatively and post-operatively. Introduction: To overcome this newer techniques are employed these days such as PENG block that are guided by ultra-sound. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a technique that involves deposition of local anesthetic in the musculofascial plane between the psoas muscle and the superior pubic ramus [2] This block has been recently described as an effective option for hip analgesia, as it targets the articular branches that supply the hip.[3] It could be very useful for analgesia during the perioperative period. Hence this case report throws light on an intervention using PENG block before surgical correction of hip fractures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
