Summary
This study looked at two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain after hip replacement surgery in 62 patients aged 65 and older. One group got a PENG block plus a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block, the other got a PENG block plus a lumbar erector spinae plane block. The goal was to see which approach led to better recovery quality, less pain, and fewer complications like delirium.
