Posterior Pericapsular Deep Gluteal Block Combined With Pericapsular Nerve Group and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Blocks for Hip Surgery Analgesia
Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of adding a Posterior Pericapsular Deep gluteal block to two other standard nerve blocks-the Pericapsular Nerve Group block and the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve block-for patients undergoing orthopedic hip surgery. While standard blocks target the front of the hip, many patients still feel pain in the back (posterior) of the joint. Researchers will compare two groups of patients to see if this triple-block combination provides better pain relief and reduces the need for rescue opioid medications in the 24 hours following surgery.

Interventions
Posterior Pericapsular Deep Gluteal, Pericapsular Nerve Group, and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Blocks.
Under ultrasound guidance, patients receive a Pericapsular Nerve Group block, a Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve block, and a Posterior Pericapsular Deep gluteal block. For each of the three blocks, 10-15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine is injected while observing for adequate fluid spread over the respective anatomical targets.
Pericapsular Nerve Group and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Blocks.
Patients receive ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve blocks with 10-15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine for each block.
