The effect of fascia iliaca block on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption for patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare postoperative pain, analgesic consumption, and complications after fascia iliaca block (FIB) versus control for patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

We performed a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov , and CENTRAL through February 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the efficacy of FIB versus control for patients undergoing primary THA. All analyses were conducted on intent-to-treat data with a random-e
