First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 300 adults having hip fracture surgery to compare two numbing methods: a lumbar plexus block (injecting medicine near nerves in the back) and unilateral spinal anesthesia (numbing one side of the spine). The goal was to see which method keeps blood pressure more stable and helps patients recover faster. The results can help doctors choose the best option for older patients.
