This study compares a new local anesthesia technique called PENG 360° to standard spinal anesthesia for people having hip replacement surgery after a fracture. The goal is to see if the new method controls pain just as well while allowing patients to move their leg sooner. One hu…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—the PENG block and the Deep Iliacus Plane Block—for pain relief during spinal anesthesia positioning and after hip fracture surgery. 75 adults aged 30-85 will receive one of the blocks plus standard pain medication. The goal is to see…

This pilot study is testing whether a dual-screw nail (InterTAN) helps people recover better after a broken hip than a standard single-screw nail (TFNA). Thirty adults with unstable hip fractures will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two devices during surgery. The rese…

This study tests whether remimazolam, a newer anesthesia drug, causes less confusion (delirium) after surgery than the standard drug propofol in elderly patients having hip or knee replacement. Researchers will monitor 82 participants for three days after surgery to check for del…

This study tests whether a long-acting form of the anesthetic bupivacaine, combined with regular bupivacaine, can control pain better than the standard drug ropivacaine after hip replacement. Sixty adults with hip fractures or necrosis will receive one of the two treatments via a…
