Abstract
Regional anesthetic techniques help alleviate postoperative pain, decrease the reliance on narcotic analgesics and reduce the negative side effects linked to opioids in patients undergoing hip surgery. Orthopedic procedures, including hip and femur fracture surgeries can result in considerable postoperative discomfort. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the efficacy of the Quadratus Lumborum Tran muscular block and the Erector Spinae block at the L4 level in delivering pain relief after hip surgery. Data shows that both Quadratus Lumborum and Erector Spinae Plane blocks are effective for postoperative analgesia in hip surgery. These techniques also enhance the quality of multimodal analgesia compared to the control group.
