PENG Block vs. Local Anesthetic

for Hip Replacement Anesthesia

Currently, the analgesic standard of care for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) at our centre is intraoperative infiltration with a solution of local anesthetic, morphine (opioid), and ketorolac (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug - NSAID). If a patient has a contraindication for the use of an opioid or NSAIDs, this infiltration is performed with a plain local anesthetic. No blocks (numbing of certain nerves to prevent pain from occurring in that area) are performed for postoperative pain in these patients. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a recently described technique with limited data in the literature that has assessed the benefits of using this nerve block for THA procedures. The purpose of this study is to investigate if the ultrasound-guided PENG block can provide non-inferior postoperative analgesia compared to local intraoperative anesthetic infiltration (ILAI) with an associated cost benefit for patients undergoing THA.
