Summary

The study propose that using femoral rami obturator nerve trunk(FRONT) block may help postoperative analgesia in nail femur surgeries. The technique is relatively new, introducing one needle to target two nerve blocks in the same entry point. The block spare motor fibers of femoral nerve so it may help both early mobilization and effective analgesia, which in turn enhance early recovery and better outcomes.

Conditions

  • Anterior Hip Analgesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Femoral rami obturator nerve trunk (FRONT) block

ultrasound-guided FRONT block will be performed at the infrainguinal level, targeting the iliopsoas plane. Using the same needle approach, the subpectineal compartment will be also accessed . We will use ultrasound and electrical nerve stimulation guidance (0.4 mA, 0.1 ms, without eliciting a motor response) to avoid direct involvement of the femoral nerve. A total of 40 mL (20 mL for the iliopsoas plane and 20 mL for the subpectineal compartment) of 0.125% plain levobupivacaine will be administered.

PROCEDURE

Sham block

Sham Control: Patients underwent an identical ultrasound-guided needle insertion procedure at the same anatomical sites and technique of FRONT block (iliopsoas plane and subpectineal compartment) with injection of an equivalent volume of placebo drug in the form of normal saline.
