Summary

This study is designed to find the best way to control pain after hip surgery performed through a side (lateral) incision. Two different types of nerve blocks used before the operation will be compared.

In one group, patients will receive a Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block, which numbs the main nerves that carry pain signals from the hip joint. In the other group, patients will receive a PENG block together with a Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) block, which adds extra pain relief for the skin and outer part of the thigh.

A total of 72 patients between 18 and 80 years old will take part in this study. All operations will be done under spinal anesthesia. Pain levels will be measured several times during the first 24 hours after surgery using a simple 0-10 pain scale. Patients will receive pain medicine through a pump that allows them to press a button when they feel pain. The total amount of medicine used will be recorded.

The researchers will also monitor when patients first need pain medicine, when they can start walking, how satisfied they are with pain control, and if they experience side effects such as nausea or dizziness.

By comparing the two methods, the study aims to see whether adding the LFCN block to the PENG block provides better pain control, lower drug use, faster recovery, and higher patient comfort after hip surgery.

Conditions

  • HİP FRACTURE
  • Hip Surgery (Lateral Incision)
  • Postoperative Pain Management
  • Analgesia, Postoperative
  • Regional Anesthesia Success

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block

An ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block will be performed preoperatively using standard local anesthetic techniques to provide postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lateral incision hip surgery.

PROCEDURE

Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) Block

An ultrasound-guided Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) block will be performed preoperatively as an adjunct to the PENG block to enhance postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lateral incision hip surgery.
