Conditions

Total Hip Arthroplasty

Brief summary

To compare the impact of pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) versus the supra-inguinal fascia-iliaca compartment block (SFICB) in postoperative analgesia, opioid sparing and enhanced recovery after surgery of total hip arthroplasty by poster-lateral approach.

Detailed description

ASA physical status 1, 2 and 3 patients scheduled to undergo elective total hip arthroplasty by poster-lateral (Moore) surgical approach with spinal anesthesia. The investigators want to confirm the non-inferiority of the SFICB compared to the PENG block on postoperative first 6 hours after surgery NRS pain score and 48 hours opioids consumption, and the difference between these in terms of early recovery and motor impact on two first day after surgery. The principal investigator perform these regional anesthesia techniques with ultrasound guided injections.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPericapsular nerves group (PENG) block

Patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty with spinal anesthesia receive before intra-thecal injection, ultrasound-guided PENG block with injection 20 ml of ropivacaine 0,75%, between the anterior hip articular capsule, the ilii-psoas muscle, the ileo-pubic eminence and the antero-inferior iliac spine.

PROCEDURESupra-inguinal fascia-iliaca compartment block

Patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty with spinal anesthesia receive before intra-thecal injection, ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block with injection over de inguinal ligament of 40 ml of ropivacaine 0,375%, between de ilio-psoas muscle and internal oblique muscle.
