Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  PENG block and Pre procedure IV Injection tramadol 2mg/kg   PENG block and Pre procedure IV Injection tramadol 2mg/kg will be given 15 minutes prior and the surgery will be performed under spinal anaesthesia 
Intervention  PENG block will be given 15 minutes prior and the surgery will be performed under spinal anaesthesia   PENG block will be performed in supine position with procedural leg slightly abducted and prepared with povidone-iodine solution. Mild sedation may be administered (midazolam: 0.05mg/kg intravenously). Using aseptic technique, a curvilinear low frequency ultrasound probe is placed on a transverse plane over anterior superior iliac spine ASIS) and then rotated approximately 45 degrees to be aligned with pubic ramus. The transducer will then be slid medially along the axis until anterior inferior iliac spine (ASIS), psoas tendon and iliopubic eminence (IPE) is identified; Thus, serving as anatomical landmarks. A 22 gauge 100 mm needle is inserted in -plane, from lateral to medial between psoas tendon and pubic ramus. 20 ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine is deposited in this plane, lifting the psoas tendon.

Brief Summary  
BACKGROUND: ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a fast track program to boost the outcome of recovery after surgery. For orthopaedic procedures, peripheral blocks have been recommended for ERAS. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a regional anaesthesia technique that targets the nerves supplying the anterior capsule of hip with an additional advantage of motor sparing of quadriceps muscle. We plan to conduct a study to evaluate the role of PENG block for ERAS for orthopaedic procedures.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: Patients will be randomly allocated into one of the two groups of 30 patients each. Group A: Prepocedure PENG block will be given 15 minutes prior and the surgery will be performed under spinal anaesthesia. Group B: Preprocedure IV Injection tramadol 2mg/kg will be given 15 minutes prior and the surgery will be performed under spinal anaesthesia
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Thus, data will be compiled and statistically analysed
