AbstractThe use of peripheral nerve blockade for hip surgeries has proved to be beneficial. The PEricapsular Nerve Group block is a new technique described for hip fracture and hip arthroplasty that has shown to provide better analgesia compared to other peripheral blocks commonly performed for this type of surgery. This technique blocks the obturator nerve and the articular branches of the femoral nerve and the accessory obturator nerve. There are few reports describing continuous analgesia using catheters inserted in the pericapsular nerve group area. We describe a case of continuous nerve block for preoperative analgesia that lasted up to 120hours in an adult patient with a fracture of the posterior column and wall of the acetabulum. We found that by increasing the infusion rate, analgesia reached the distal femoral area. Unlike the original technique, a high-frequency linear probe was used in this case.Copyright © 2020 Sociedad Española de Anestesiología, Reanimación y Terapéutica del Dolor.
