Brief summary

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a complex surgical procedure frequently performed to treat degenerative conditions in the hip joint. As people's life expectancy increases, the need for hip arthroplasty increases. İnvestigetors aimed to compare the analgesic properties of SIFI and QLB blocks.

Interventions

DRUGBupivacain

Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment block was performed with a linear probe placed over the inguinal ligament using a portable ultrasound device. After visualization of the femoral nerve, 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected into the fascia iliaca overlying the iliopsoas muscle using an appropriate needle.
