Ropivacaine injection ...Study Participants
40A clinical trial investigating the effect of a combined locoregional anesthesia technique on the postoperative analgesia outcomes after a total hip arthroplasty. A PENG block will be used in combination with a LFCN block. The results will be compared to a control group that is solely treated with intravenous analgesia. This technique aims to provide improved pain scores after surgery without interference of revalidation.
Regional anesthesia technique
Local anesthetic used for peripheral nerve block.
The participants in this group received a combined regional technique just before surgery: Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block Lateral femoral cutaneus nerve (LFCN) block
Control group
Inclusion Criteria: adult patients who underwent a primary total hip replacement under general anesthesia Exclusion Criteria: insulin dependent diabetes mellitus chronic pain severe dementia or mental retardation allergy to local anesthetics
