Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture.
Does PENG block improve postoperative pain relief in patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture compared to FICB?
Does PENG block improve postoperative pain relief in patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture compared to FICB?
Ultrasound-guided PENG block provides superior postoperative pain relief and less quadriceps weakness compared to FICB in patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric femur fracture.
