Brief summary: Clinical controled trial to compare between pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Fascia Iliaca Block to find the best way to provide analgesia for elderly patients with hip fracture in the pre- and post-operative periods.

Detailed description: Pain is a major problem that has to be dealt with in case of hip fracture, as it resembles an obstacle for examination, positioning for receiving neuroaxial anesthesia and postoperative mobility and physiotherapy.

With the introduction of ultrasound in regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks, regional analgesia float to the surface as a substitute for opioids with less side effects. Of the many techniques to provide regional analgesia for hip fractures; fascia iliaca block was widely used with good results. In 2018 Pericapsular Nerve Group Block was introduced to provide regional analgesia for hip fractures with interesting results.

In this study the investigators are going to compare Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Fascia Iliaca Block to find the best way to provide analgesia for elderly patients with hip fracture in the pre- and post-operative periods.
