Brief Summary   Total hip replacement (THR) is a widely performed surgery designed to relieve hip joint pain and improve function by replacing the joint with a prosthetic implant. Effective postoperative pain management is essential, as it not only enhances comfort but also enables quicker mobilization. Pain management strategies typically include opioid-based analgesics and regional anesthesia techniques, such as femoral nerve blocks, fascia iliaca compartment blocks, and more recently, the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, introduced in 2018. Unlike other blocks, PENG specifically targets hip sensory nerves, potentially reducing opioid requirements and promoting faster recovery due to its minimal impact on motor function. Combining PENG with a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block has shown even better pain relief, addressing both hip and thigh discomfort. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of combining femoral and LFCN blocks with the PENG and LFCN block combination in managing THR postoperative pain
