Surgical anesthesia for revision total hip arthroplasty with quadratus lumborum and fascia iliaca block

Abstract

We present a case in which surgical anesthesia was provided for revision of earlier total hip arthroplasty with quadratus lumborum and fascia iliaca blocks. We believe that this case is the first to be reported using this technique for this procedure. Our patient was a high-risk candidate for general and neuraxial anesthesia because of significant cardiac dysfunction and therapeutic anticoagulation.
