About this trial

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compares the analgesic effectiveness of two regional anesthesia techniques-Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block combined with Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block (LFCB) versus Lumbar and Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Blocks (L-ESPB and S-ESPB)-in pediatric patients undergoing hip surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Pediatric patients aged between 2 and 16 years.

Scheduled for elective orthopedic hip surgery, including: Osteotomies and Hip reconstruction surgeries

ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status classification: I-III.

Written informed consent obtained from the patient's legal guardian(s).

Disqualifiers

Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study medications

Presence of infection or inflammation at the intended injection site(s) of regional anesthesia.

Coagulopathy or bleeding disorders (including patients on anticoagulant therapy) that contraindicate nerve blocks.

Neurological disorders or peripheral neuropathies that could influence sensory or motor assessment of the lower limbs.
