The Novel Use of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block in Hip Girdlestone Surgery

The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a regional anesthesia technique used to reduce pain after hip surgeries while sparing motor function. • PENG is an interfascial plane block that targets the articular branches of the anterior hip including the femoral, obturator, and accessory obturator nerves. • Local anesthetic is deposited between the psoas tendon and superior pubic ramus. • Literature has previously described its use for patients undergoing hip replacement or fracture repair. • We performed this block in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) on a patient who underwent pelvic limb girdle surgery, which has not been previously described in the literature
