Posterior Hip Pericapsular Block (PHPB) with pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for hip fracture: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fracture (FNF) can be severe, potentially leading to serious complications. PENG block has become an optional local analgesic strategy in hip fracture surgery, but it cannot provide effective pain relief for the posterior capsule of the hip joint. Therefore, we modified the traditional sacral plexus nerve block and named it Posterior Hip Pericapsule Block (PHPB) to complement the blockade of the relevant nerves innervating the posterior hip capsule region. Thereby, we detail the analgesic effect of PHPB combined with PENG block on five hip fracture patients and the effect on their hip motor function.

Methods

This case series was conducted from December 2023 to February 2024. We performed ultrasound-guided PH
