PENG vs Femoral Block for Hip Fracture, A Pragmatic Cluster-Randomized Study
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.

Primary outcomes
- Mean Change in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Score One Hour Post Block for all Subjects — Baseline, 1-hour post block
The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) measures the intensity of pain a subject experiences. where subjects rate their pain on a scale from zero to ten and each number corresponds to a different level of intensity. The lowest score 0 represents no pain and the highest score 10 represents the most intense feeling of pain. - Mean Change in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Score One-Hour Post Block in Intracapsular Hip Fractures — Baseline, 1-hour post block
The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) measures the intensity of pain a subject experiences. where subjects rate their pain on a scale from zero to ten and each number corresponds to a different level of intensity. The lowest score 0 represents no pain and the highest score 10 represents the most intense feeling of pain. - Mean Change in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Score One-Hour Post Block in Extracapsular Hip Fractures — Baseline, 1-hour post block
The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) measures the intensity of pain a subject experiences. where subjects rate their pain on a scale from zero to ten and each number corresponds to a different level of intensity. The lowest score 0 represents no pain and the highest score 10 represents the most intense feeling of pain.
