Conditions
Summary
To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block alone versus the PENG block combined with the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) block in providing adequate analgesia for patient positioning during spinal anesthesia in individuals undergoing surgery for hip fracture.
