Comparison of Fascial Iliac Compartment Block and Quadratus Lumborum Block for Hip Surgery

June 5, 2021 updated by: Wei Mei, Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum Block Versus Supra-inguinal Fascial Iliac Compartment Block for Total Hip Arthroplasty: a Randomized, Prospective Study

Iliac fascia block has a long history of analgesia in patients with hip fractures. A large number of clinical studies have confirmed its efficacy, and there are also randomized controlled studies supporting its effectiveness in analgesia after total hip replacement surgery.Quadratus lumborum block is a new block technique developed in last decade, and there are also a few randomized controlled studies supporting its effectiveness in postoperative analgesia for total hip replacement.The purpose of the present study was to find out whether these two different approaches of fascial compartment block have similar effects on postoperative analgesia after total hip replacement.
