AbstractThe study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of deep subgluteal block (DSGB) for pain relief after posterolateral-approached total hip replacement. The cadaver study and observational case series assessed the spread and outcomes of ultrasound-guided DSGB. Results showed low postoperative pain scores, minimal opioid requirements, and no complications related to DSGB. Anatomical dissection revealed effective spread of the injected substance. These findings suggest that DSGB could be a promising regional analgesic technique for postoperative pain management after posterolateral-approached total hip replacement.Copyright © 2024 International Anesthesia Research Society.
