Systematic review demonstrates PENG outperforms SI-FICB in immediate pain relief during hip fracture surgery, suggesting effective analgesia options.

PENG provides superior pain relief within 60 minutes compared to SI-FICB, particularly noted for pain at rest and movement.
The analysis included 11 randomized controlled trials with 1,260 adults, assessing acute hip fracture management.
Evaluation used random-effects modelling, highlighting the need for standardized trials due to outcome variations.
Findings indicate the need for future research into optimal techniques for hip fracture analgesia.

Fernandes et al. (2025) studied this question.
