The postoperative analgesic efficacy of three peripheral nerve blocks in hip fracture surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials

No included studies reported time to mobilisation, highlighting a significant evidence gap in existing primary research. Further high-quality, sufficiently powered randomised trials are still needed.
