MRI-Based Assessment of Local Anesthetic Spread in the PENG Block Compartment
Sponsor: Campus Bio-Medico University
Summary
This study uses MRI imaging to evaluate the spread of local anesthetic following the administration of a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. The goal is to determine whether a distinct fascial plane exists between neurovascular structures, potentially explaining the block's observed clinical effectiveness.
