Abstract

In adult patients undergoing hip procedures, there is a risk of perioperative pain leading to increased opioid consumption, delayed ambulation, and prolonged hospital stay. With the development of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, there have been methods developed to decrease perioperative pain for hip procedures. The femoral nerve block has been a popular nerve block for hip procedures in recent years. However, the femoral nerve block has been shown to delay ambulation following the hip procedure due to prolonged quadriceps muscle weakness. This leads to an increased risk of patient falls, delayed ambulation, decreased mobility, and deep vein thrombus development. Due to these issues, the femoral nerve block has fallen out of favor, and often, no nerve block is utilized for hip procedures. The pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) has the potential to provide sensory nerve blockade without motor nerve blockade.
