Abstract

The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block was recently suggested as a regional technique for managing acute pain after hip surgery. However, few anatomical studies have confirmed the spread of injectate during the PENG block. This cadaver study aimed to analyze injectate spread to the target nerves during single-injection ultrasound-guided PENG block.
