Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Femoral Nerve Block  For FNB, a high frequency linear USG probe will be placed over inguinal crease. In cross section, femoral vessels and femoral nerve will be identified. Just lateral to the artery and deep to the fascia iliaca , the femoral nerve will be located as a spindle-shaped structure with a honeycomb appearance. 22G block needle will be inserted through fascia iliaca and 20 mL of 0.25% of bupivacaine will be administered after negative aspiration.  
Intervention  Pericapsular Nerve Group Block  For PENG block, a low frequency curvilinear probe will be placed over the anterior superior illiac spine and moved inferiorly to visualise the pubic ramus. Then, iliopectineal eminence will be visualised and the femoral artery and iliopsoas muscle will be identified in centre. the area between iliopectineal eminence and pubic ramus will be our target point. Using 22G block needle using in plane technique, 20mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected after negative aspiration.

Brief Summary   Severe pain associated with proximal femur fracture makes spinal anaesthesia in sitting position difficult. Regional blocks such as femoral nerve block (FNB) and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) provide good analgesia for positioning. FNB is easy to perform and safe. It has been used for years to provide analgesia for sitting position for performing central neuraxial blockage after hip fractures. However, it can lead to motor weakness. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) blocks the articular fibres of femoral nerve, obturator nerve and accessory obturator nerve.supplying anterior hip capsule. So, we aim to compare the analgesic effect of USG guided PENG block and FNB for positional pain during spinal anaesthesia in proximal femur fractures.
The minimum sample size required for our study is 54.
Randomisation of the sample will be done by computer generated using random number generator to create list of random numbers.
GROUP A to get USG guided PENG block 30 mins before spinal anaesthesia.
GROUP B to get USG guided FNB 30 mins before spinal anaesthesia.
In preoperative room, pain score at rest (VAS-R) and at 15-degree passive limb elevation in supine position will be noted.
Under all aseptic and antiseptic precautions, PENG block and FNB block will be given using 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine after negative aspiration via 22G block needle.
VAS will be assessed at rest (VAS -R and at 15-degree limb elevation (VAS-D) every 10 mins for 30 mins. At 30 mins, patients will be shifted to the operating room.
Patient is given a sitting position for spinal anaesthesia and comfort is assessed by ease of spinal position score (EOSP). If VAS is >4, it is considered a block failure.
The best angle obtained by the patient during sitting position is also recorded.
Post operative pain scoreis assessed by VAS at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hrs.
Quadriceps muscle weakness will be assessed by Oxford muscle strength scale at 6 hrs.
