A total of 120 patients scheduled for surgical operation due to hip fracture were divided into two randomized groups. The first group received pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, while the second group received lumbar erector spinae plane (L-ESP) block prior to the surgery. Subsequently, all patients were positioned in the lateral decubitus position before spinal anesthesia and compared in terms of anesthesia effectiveness through pain scores.
