About this trial
Hip fractures are common in older adults and are often associated with severe pain, making it difficult for patients to sit for spinal anesthesia before surgery. Peripheral nerve blocks may improve pain control and facilitate patient positioning, but it remains uncertain whether the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block provides advantages over the traditional femoral nerve block during the spinal anesthesia procedure.
