Summary
Patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures experience significant perioperative and postoperative pain. Perioperative pain can complicate and prolong the anesthesia process for patients undergoing spinal anesthesia, leading to complications in the procedure. Postoperative pain, in turn, prolongs hospital stays, delays recovery, and can lead to chronic postoperative pain due to high-dose opioid use for pain control. The aim of this single-center, prospective, observational study is to compare the effects of pericapsular nerve block and anterior quadratus lumborum block on spinal anesthesia positioning pain and postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric femur fractures. Our study distinguishes itself by providing scientific guidance, as there are no studies in the literature comparing the effects of these two blocks on spinal anesthesia positioning pain, spinal anesthesia success, and postoperative analgesia.
