Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for hip fractures: Another weapon in the armamentarium of anesthesiologists

Dear Editor, We had been routinely doing either fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) or femoral nerve block (FNB) in hip fractures with good result.[1] After the claimed analgesic efficacy of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, we decided to evaluate this block in our patients.[2] After informed written consent, we performed ultrasound (US)‐guided PENG block in 9 patients posted for hip fracture surgery [Table 1]. All patients received PENG block in the preoperative area. Pre‐block visual analogue scale (VAS) score at rest, and with 15° passive straight leg‐raise (SLR) were recorded.
