Pain Relief Comparison: Pericapsular Nerve Group Versus Quadratus Lumborum Block for Positioning in Femur Fracture Surgery

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of Ultrasound Guided Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Quadratus Lumborum Block for pain relief During patient Positioning for Spinal Anesthesia in proximal femur fracture surgeries. A total of 42 patients enrolled and randomly assigned to either the PENG or QLB group (n=21 each). pain relief will be assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) at rest and during movement before and after the block, as well as the time of first rescue analgesia and total analgesic consumption. the study will also evaluate the ease of spinal positioning and anesthesiologist satisfaction. patient will be monitored intraoperatively and postoperatively for pain scores. adverse events, and analgesic requirement.
