A Comparative Study between Postoperative Analgesia of Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block and Anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block in Proximal Femur Fracture.

ABSTRACT: Elderly patients with various comorbidities are more likely to suffer from proximal femur fractures. It is also a painful fracture, and poor pain management can have serious physiological and psychological consequences, such as acute delirium. Purpose. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided transmuscular (anterior) quadratus lumborum block (QLB) versus infrainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in proximal femur fractures for postoperative analgesia.
