Brief Summary:
Clinical controled trial to compare between pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Fascia Iliaca Block to find the best way to provide analgesia for elderly patients with hip fracture in the pre- and post-operative periods.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hip Fractures Procedure: Pericapsular nerve Group block Procedure: Facia Iliaca block Drug: Fentanyl Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Pain is a major problem that has to be dealt with in case of hip fracture, as it resembles an obstacle for examination, positioning for receiving neuroaxial anesthesia and postoperative mobility and physiotherapy.

With the introduction of ultrasound in regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks, regional analgesia float to the surface as a substitute for opioids with less side effects. Of the many techniques to provide regional analgesia for hip fractures; fascia iliaca block was widely used with good results. In 2018 Pericapsular Nerve Group Block was introduced to provide regional analgesia for hip fractures with interesting results.

In this study the investigators are going to compare Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Fascia Iliaca Block to find the best way to provide analgesia for elderly patients with hip fracture in the pre- and post-operative periods.

Drug Information available for: Fentanyl

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Group C
Patients will be assigned to receive opioids analgesia before spinal anesthesia in the form of intravenous fentanyl in a dose of 1mic/kg divided into two boluses with 5 minutes interval in between before positioning the patient for spinal anesthesia.
Drug: Fentanyl
Intravenous fentanyl in a dose of 1mic/kg divided into two boluses with 5 minutes interval in between.
Other Name: Intravenous opioid

Experimental: Group P
Patients will be assigned to receive Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG Block) before positioning the patient for spinal anesthesia.
Procedure: Pericapsular nerve Group block
Under ultrasound guidance a needle is inserted between the iliopectineal eminence and the iliopsoas muscle and tendon to block articular branches supplying the capsule of hip joint.
Other Name: PENG block

Experimental: Group F
Patients will be assigned to receive Fascia Iliaca Block (F.I Block) before positioning for spinal anesthesia.
Procedure: Facia Iliaca block
Under ultrasound guidance a needle is inserted between the fascia iliaca and Psoas muscle to block the femoral, obturator and lateral cutaneous nerves.
Other Name: FI block




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Comparison between the analgesic effect of both Pericapsular Nerve Group block and Fascia Iliaca block with VAS score. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Analysis of Visual Analogue Pain Score for both PENG block and FI block before and after each block during rest and movement to compare between their analgesic effect. The Visual Analogue Pain score is done by drawing a 10cm vertical line on a piece of paper with its limits "no pain" (0) on one side and "extreme pain" (10) on the other side. The patient will be asked to point where the pain (he/she) experiences lies on the line.
