No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if the insertion site of a perineural catheter, or tiny tube placed next to the nerves that go to the hip which you will have surgery, affects the amount of pain relief that is experienced after surgery.

Conditions

  • Hip Arthroplasty
  • Hip Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Femoral Nerve Block vs. Psoas Compartment Nerve Block

Patients, undergoing hip arthroplasty or hip resurfacing will be randomized to one of two groups: femoral nerve block or psoas compartment nerve block. Patients randomized to femoral nerve block will receive this block prior to surgery. Patients randomized to psoas compartment nerve block will receive this block prior to surgery. Both patients will receive Mepivicaine via catheter prior to surgery and following surgery, Ropivicaine via pain pump.
