PENG vs Femoral Block for Hip Fracture Analgesia
Sponsor: Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Summary
This study aims to compare the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block with femoral block for hip fracture pain. Participants presenting to the hospital with a diagnosis of hip fracture and consenting to analgesic block will receive either a PENG or femoral block. The choice of block will be dictated by a randomized monthly schedule, and all participants presenting during each four-week period will receive the designated block. A sub-group analysis will be performed to determine any difference in efficacy in participants with intracapsular versus extracapsular fractures.
