Conditions

Hip Fractures

Brief summary

Fractures in and around the hip are quite common irrespective of both the young and elderly population groups and are associated with extreme pain. A hip fracture is a serious injury, with complications that can be life-threatening and is a common orthopedic emergency in the elderly. Early surgery within 48 h of fracture has shown to decrease the complication and mortality rates.

Interventions

DRUGBupivacaine Hydrochloride

Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block: 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected in increments while observing for an adequate fluid spread in this plane. Fascia Iliaca Compartment (FIC) Block: 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected until it spreads. laterally toward the iliac spine and medially toward the femoral nerve.
