Age
60 Years to 120 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients aged 60 years or older. 2. Diagnosed with frailty, defined as a Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score 3. Scheduled for elective unilateral primary hip arthroplasty. 4. Able to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Refusal to participate in the study. 2. Contraindications to spinal anesthesia. 3. Contraindications to fascia iliaca compartment block, including allergy to local anesthetics, infection at the injection site, or coagulopathy. 4. Contraindications to laryngeal mask airway anesthesia, including: anticipated difficult airway, high risk of pulmonary aspiration (e.g., non-fasted patients, gastroesophageal reflux disease with active symptoms, bowel obstruction, delayed gastric emptying), limited mouth opening preventing LMA insertion, upper airway pathology precluding LMA placement. 5. Severe cognitive impairment precluding informed consent or postoperative assessment. 6. Severe psychiatric disorders. 7. Revision hip arthroplasty or simultaneous bilateral hip arthroplasty. 8. Withdrawal of informed consent.
