In order to continue progressing towards outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), methods to adequately manage postoperative pain is of paramount importance. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve block in total hip arthroplasty in comparison to the fascia iliaca nerve block.
This is a single center, randomized, controlled trial in adult subjects undergoing total hip arthroplasty that will receive one of two different nerve block regimens for pain management as part of standard of care. Effective pain control after surgery for total hip replacement is a critical element in patient recovery. Particularly, in the first few days, as majority of patients may experience significant pain. Improved pain management after surgery contributes to better healing, faster patient mobility, shortened hospital stays, and reduced healthcare costs. While pain management is an impor…
