Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum Block versus Infrainguinal Fascia Iliaca Nerve Block for Patients Undergoing Elective Hip Replacement: A Double-blinded, Pilot, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Abstract
Transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block has been described as an effective option for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip replacement with single injection described as providing analgesia for up to 24 h. We hypothesize that a TQL block, when compared to fascia iliaca block (FIB), will provide better analgesia and less motor block in the initial 24-h postoperative period.
