An Iliopsoas Plane Block After Total Hip Arthroplasty

February 14, 2023 updated by: Do-Hyeong Kim, Gangnam Severance Hospital

An Iliopsoas Plane Block for Pain Management After Total Hip Arthroplasty: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Nielsen et al. reported that when iliopsoas plane block was performed on healthy volunteers, the injection solution in Hip MRI was confined to the myofascial compartment, which was known to include all sensory branches of the femoral nerve that control the hip joint. The maximal muscle strength of knee extension did not decrease before and after Iliopsoas plane block in Volunteer. Since there is no clinical study conducted on patients after the volunteer study, the investigators intend to evaluate the analgesic and motor preserving effects of the iliopsoas plane block in a group of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numeric rating scale pain score at rest
Time Frame: up to 48 hours after the surgery
Pain intensity at rest will be evaluated by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain) 1, 6, 24, and 48 hours after the surgery.
up to 48 hours after the surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numeric rating scale pain score at movement
Time Frame: up to 48 hours postoperatively
Pain intensity during 45-degree passive flexion of the hip with the ipsilateral knee flexed naturally will be evaluated by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain) 1, 6, 24, and 48 hours after the surgery.
up to 48 hours postoperatively
Postoperative opioid consumption
Time Frame: postoperative 24, 48hours
morphine equivalent dose
postoperative 24, 48hours
