Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the major disorder of the pediatric population with an incidence of 3 to 5 per 1000 children. Open surgical reduction of congenital hip dislocation (CHD) is typically performed after an ineffective closed reduction or older than 18 months. Multiple femoral or pelvic osteotomies and tenotomies are performed during this surgical treatment and cause severe postoperative pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block (ESP) in pediatric patients undergoing CHD surgery.
