Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Fascia Iliaca Block  In supine position, a high frequency linear probe will be placed in the inguinal crease. Scan starting laterally from the femoral artery and nerve in inguinal crease to identify the sartorius muscle, tracing the muscle until its origin to anterior superior iliac spine. The shadow of the bony of iliac crest &iliacus muscle will be seen, the end point of the injection is deep to the fascia iliaca and above the iliacus muscle in the lateral part of the iliacus muscle. After negative aspiration, 20ml of 0.25 PERCENT bupivacaine will be injected 
Intervention  Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block  the patient is in the supine position , a curvilinear low frequency ultrasound probe will initially be placed in a transverse plane over the AIIS and then aligned with the pubic ramus by rotating the probe counterclockwise approximately 45 degrees . In this view, the iliopubic eminence, the iliopsoas muscle and tendon, the femoral artery, the pectineus muscle will be visualized . An 18G, Tuohy’s needle will be inserted from lateral to medial in an in-plane approach to place the needle tip between the psoas tendon anteriorly and pubic ramus posteriorly.After careful confirmation of the needle positioning using 0.9 percent Saline injection, and negative aspiration 20ml of 0.25 percent bupivacaine will be injected.

Brief Summary  
Hip fracture is a common orthopedic emergency in the elderly and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, surgical reductions and fixations are the definitive treatments in most patients. Adequate pain relief is essential in the postoperative period .  Initially intravenous patient controlled analgesia and epidural analgesia were used . these have been replaced by various peripheral nerve blockade techniques ; these include lumbar plexus block , psoas compartment block , femoral nerve block and so on . Recently fascia iliaca block and (Pericapsular Nerve Group ) PENG block have been proposed for the same ,but there has been no comparative study regarding the two blocks . These peripheral nerve blocks have been found to be associated with reduced motor blockade , early ambulatory outcomes , adequate analgesia  and decreased requirement of opioids . 


This study is a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of fascia iliaca and PENG block in the postoperative period. The selection of the patients for the block will be done by computer generated random table and   both the blocks will be given preoperatively  and catheter will be placed at the site of the block and infusion pumps containing the drugs will be attached to the catheter. The surgery will be done under spinal anaesthesia and the catheter will be placed for 48 hours postoperative duration. 


Following observations will be made 

         1.  Mean NRS ( Numerical Rating Scale) score at 0 , 4,8,12, and 24 hours postoperatively 
         2. Change in NRS score while positiong for spinal anaesthesia 
         3. Mean dosage of 24 hours postopearive analgesic requirement
         4. Proportion  of catheter and drug related complications 

Data will be collected and compiled in an excel sheet and will be analyzed statistically .
