Comparative Analysis of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Postoperative Pain Management in Total Hip Arthroplasty: An Observational Prospective Study
The PENG block demonstrated superior motor function preservation and longer analgesia following THA compared to the FNB. The PENG block may offer a clinical advantage in facilitating earlier mobilization and improving overall recovery outcomes post-surgery.
