What this trial studies

This study compares the effectiveness of circum-psoas blocks versus combined lumbar and sacral plexus blocks for managing postoperative pain in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. It aims to determine which technique provides better pain relief, thereby facilitating early mobilization and recovery. The study will involve patients aged 65 and over who are scheduled for hip fracture surgery within 24-72 hours. By utilizing ultrasound guidance for nerve blocks, the study seeks to minimize opioid use and enhance recovery outcomes.
