Abstract

Background:-Regional anesthesia techniques provide good postoperative analgesia leading to higher patient
satisfaction and better outcomes. Fascia Iliaca compartment block (FICB) is a routinely usedanalgesic technique for hip surgeries but it does not provide enough analgesia. Hence, a novelblock called Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is studied.
