Comparison of Cryoablation of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) to Fascia Iliaca Catheter in Patients With a Hip Fracture
University of Minnesota
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with hip fractures who undergo cryoablation of the PENG have improved pain control 30 days from surgery when compared to those who have a fascia iliaca catheter.

Interventions
- DrugPENG block and cryoablation
will receive an ultrasound guided PENG block with 20 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine followed by cryoablation of the PENG nerves.
- Drugfascia iliaca compartment block
will receive an ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment catheter with initial bolus of 20 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine followed by infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine at 10 mL per hour
