to study the effect of Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block as a part of multimodal analgesia regimen for hip arthroplasties
PENG block is a novel block described by Giron-Arango in 2018 to anesthesize the anterior hip capsule as it is supplied by branches from femoral, obturator and accessory obturator nerves, sparing motor function is an additional significance So currently the block is used to reduce post operative opioid consumption, delay time rescue analgesia, facilitate positioning for spinal anesthesia for hip surgeries and to accelerate mobility and so hospital discharge saving this vulnerable group of patient from any hospital acquired pneumonia, decreasing hospital stays, and improving recovery times would provide valuable insights into its cost-effectiveness and long-term benefits for healthcare system Our primary outcome to be studied is pain assessment via Numer Rating Scale over 24 hours postoperatively, in addition to to secondary outcomes including the aforementioned advantages.

As a part of multimodal analgesia patients will receive 20 ml of 0.25% bupivcacaine according to the technique described by Giron-Arango. All patients will receive the same analgesic protocol, which included IV paracetamol 1000 mg BID and NSAIDs if no contra-indication; PO celecoxib 100 mg BID. Also if needed nalbuphine 5 mg IV will be given as bolus demand dose and when the NRS pain score was equal to or greater than 4 points.
Patients will receive only other multimodal analgesics including LCFN block via 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine.

Pain score: pain assessment using a Numeric Rating System (NRS) immediately in the postoperative period.
Pain score: pain intensity will be evaluated using a Numeric Rating System (NRS) immediately in the postoperative period, every 2 hours during the first 6 hours and then every 6 hours till 24 hours postoperatively. Scores ranging from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating the absence of pain and 10 indicating the worst possible pain.
Time frame: 24 hours
Rescue analgesia timing and opioid consumption over 24 hours
Time to first opioid demand and total opioid consumed by each patient individually over 24 hours.
Time frame: 24 hours
