Quadratus Lumborum Block Versus Fascia Iliaca Block for Hip Arthroplasty

NCT04005326 NA UNKNOWN

Quadratus lumborum block is a newly developed block with good performance in lower abdominal surgery. In a cadaveric study, the spread of local anesthetic in the anterior approach of QL block (QL3) was reported to cover nerve roots from T10 to L3. Thus, it was hypothesized that this approach could be used in hip surgeries with minimal motor affection. This study aims to compare QL3 block and suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca block in the duration of postoperative analgesia, pain scores, motor power in quadriceps muscle, and side effects.
