Brief summary: Surgical repair of the hip can be extremely painful and is associated with considerable postoperative pain in children despite the use of systemic opioids. These patients may benefit from neuraxial analgesia in adjunction with general anesthesia. The reported advantages of this technique include decreased opiate exposure, decreased time in the post-anesthesia recovery room, decreased hospital stay, reduce the post-operative morbidity, provide early mobilization. Regional anesthetic techniques seem to be a better choice for improving acute pain management in these patients, with fewer adverse effects.

Detailed description: Surgical repair of the hip can be extremely painful and is associated with considerable postoperative pain in children despite the use of systemic opioids. These patients may benefit from neuraxial analgesia in adjunction with general anesthesia. The reported advantages of this technique include decreased opiate exposure, decreased time in the post-anesthesia recovery room, decreased hospital stay, reduce the post-operative morbidity, provide early mobilization.

Regional anesthetic techniques seem to be a better choice for improving acute pain management in these patients, with fewer adverse effects. The erector spinae block is a recently described ultrasound-guided technique in which local anesthetics is injected into a fascial plane between the tips of the thoracic transverse processes and the overlying erector spinae muscle (longissimus thoracis).

Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been recently recommended by Girón-Arango et al. for use as postoperative analgesia in hip surgeries. It is a new regional anesthesia technique in the region between the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and ilio-pubic eminence (IPE).

The anterior capsule is the most richly innervated section of the joint suggesting these nerves should be the main targets for hip analgesia.
