Summary

This study uses MRI imaging to evaluate the spread of local anesthetic following the administration of a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. The goal is to determine whether a distinct fascial plane exists between neurovascular structures, potentially explaining the block's observed clinical effectiveness.

Conditions

  • Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)
  • Postoperative Pain Management After Total Hip Arthroplasty

Interventions

PROCEDURE

PENG Block

Preoperative ultrasound giuded PENG block (ropivacaine 0,5% 20mL)

PROCEDURE

Magnetic resonance imaging

The patient will undergo a pelvic MRI to assess anesthetic diffusion after PENG block
