This editorial highlights the role of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks in optimizing postoperative pain control and facilitating early mobilization in hip surgery patients.
Ultrasound implementation for the facilitation of peripheral nerve blocks is well established. Ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus, femoral, fascia iliaca and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment, pericapsular nerve group and quadratus lumborum nerve blocks have been employed for analgesia purposes in hip surgery. The combination of motor-sparing regional anesthesia strategies for optimal postoperative pain control with recovery protocols targeting to early and safe patients' mobilization constitute the current dogma of orthopedic surgery. Therefore, this editorial sets out to revisit the role of peripheral nerve blocks in postoperative pain management of hip surgery patients, under the prism of current orthopedic practice.
