First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two types of nerve blocks—Quadroiliac Plane Block and PENG Block—for pain relief after femur fracture surgery. 52 adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks. Researchers measured pain scores and how much opioid painkiller patients needed in the first 24 hours after surgery.
