Overall , moderate evidence suggests that nerve blockades are effective for relieving acute pain and reducing delirium .
Low-level evidence suggests that preoperative traction does not reduce acute pain .
Nerve blockade seems to be effective in reducing acute pain after hip fracture .
Sparse data preclude firm conclusions about the relative benefits or harms of many other pain management interventions for patients with hip fracture .
BACKGROUND  Pain management  is integral to the management of hip fracture .
PURPOSE To review the benefits and harms of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions for managing pain  after hip fracture .
Low‐dose bupivacaine with sufentanil prevents hypotension after spinal anesthesia for hip repair in elderly patients
Background : Hip fracture is common in the geriatric population . Patients in this group are often at high risk for perioperative complications from concurrent diseases . Conventional spinal anesthesia can be associated with hypotension but has a better postoperative outcome compared to general anesthesia . We judged that a reduced dose of bupivacaine in combination with sufentanil could give reliable blocks with minimal hypotension
