Patients undergoing hip surgery will be divided into two groups and be given ultrasound guided pericapsular nerve block using levobupivacaine 0.5% or levobupivacaine 0.5% + dexamethasone to compare their effect in controlling pain.

Ultrasound guided Pericapsular Nerve Group Block(PENG)For Hip Surgery: A Randomised Controlled Trial Study comparing Levobupivacaine (0.5%) and Levobupivacaine (0.5%) with Dexamethasone. - NIL
