The postoperative pain relief of the patients undergoing surgery for unilateral hip fracture can be done by various techniques. Multiple trials and a systematic review have described decrease in pain scores and opioid consumption while comparing postoperative regional analgesia to systemic analgesia. Regional anaesthesia is considered one of the safer modes in elderly patients to alleviate postoperative morbidity and mortality. Lumbar plexus block (psoas compartment block) under ultrasound guidance is a novel important modality for providing pain relief in hip fracture surgeries. One of the difficulties of effective regional analgesia of hip pain is the complex innervation of the joint. Sensory innervation of anterior capsule of hip includes articular branches of femoral, obturator and accessory obturator nerve, with a greater contribution by the high branches of femoral nerve. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is a novel regional analgesia technique for postoperative pain management of hip fracture. It was first described (PENG) block in 2018 by using a low frequency curvilinear ultrasound probe to deposit local anaesthetic in the 2 musculofascial plane between the psoas tendon anteriorly and the pubic ramus posteriorly. It was successfully demonstrated that PENG block reduced pain score by a median of 7 points on a 10 points numerical rating scale in patients with hip fracture. PENG block is primarily ultrasound guided which targets the articular branches of femoral nerve, accessory obturator nerve. PENG block is also used for surgical anaesthesia to reduce dislocated hip, striping of varicose vein. The major limiting factor for PENG block is the use of ultrasound as it is not yet available to everyone particularly in developing countries. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, efficacy and safety of PENG block in comparison with lumbar plexus block for postoperative pain management of hip fracture.
