Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized clinical trial comparing six techniques of postoperative analgesia for elective total hip arthroplasty under subarachnoid anesthesia with opioids.
Optimal control of acute postoperative pain and prevention of chronic persistent pain in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain a challenge. The main hypothesis was that peripheral nerve blocks improve postoperative analgesia. ⋯ combined with a multimodal analgesic approach, infra-inguinal FICB and LFCNB did not improve immediate postoperative analgesia for THA in our hospital. Other options and longer-term studies should be more extensively investigated to determine the role of peripheral blocks in postoperative pain treatment protocols.
