This study is comparing the effect of lumbar plexus block and fascia iliaca block with general anesthesia to provide perioperative pain control and compare their effects on hemodynamics
Different groups receive different interventions at same time during study. patients were randomly allocated in two groups : Group A: lumbar plexus block using shamrock technique by 0.3 ml/kg of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200000 adrenaline. Group B: Fascia iliaca block by 0.3 ml/kg of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200000 adrenaline.

Time frame: 24 hours
Compare effects of both groups on mean arterial blood pressure
monitoring of blood pressure using non invasive blood pressure measurement in millimeter mercury
