Clinical Trial – Erector Spinae Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Control in Hip Replacement Surgeries
ESP block advantages include its simplicity, easy identifiable ultrasonographic landmarks and
low risk for serious complications as injection is into tissue plane that is distant from
pleura, major blood vessels and discrete nerves. Coupled with the fact that the erector
spinae muscle and ESP extend down to the lumbar spine, ESP block was hypothesized to be
performed at the level of L4. In a recent case report, ultrasound guided ESP block was
successfully performed at L4 transverse process level for postoperative analgesia after total
hip arthroplasty. However, confirmation of the efficacy of ESP block in hip replacement
surgeries needed more investigation.
Clinical Trial – Quadratus Lumborum Block Versus Fascia Iliaca Block for Hip Arthroplasty
Quadratus lumborum block is a newly developed block with good performance in lower abdominal
surgery. In a cadaveric study, the spread of local anesthetic in the anterior approach of QL
block (QL3) was reported to cover nerve roots from T10 to L3. Thus, it was hypothesized that
this approach could be used in hip surgeries with minimal motor affection.
This study aims to compare QL3 block and suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca block in the duration of
postoperative analgesia, pain scores, motor power in quadriceps muscle, and side effects.
Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy helps Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint/cartilage disease
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common condition suffered mostly by the elderly. Due to it painful and debilitating effects, sufferers often rely on pain medication (NSAIDS) to live a normal life.OA is a degenerative condition of the joints whereby...
