The aim is to provide effective preoperative analgesia in patients undergoing surgical procedures due to hip fractures by administering a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block under ultrasound guidance. This approach seeks to increase patient satisfaction, reduce analgesic requirements, enable earlier discharge, and decrease morbidity and mortality.

Preoperative Pain Scores and Opioid Consumption
Preoperative pain of patients will be assessed with NRS (Numeric Raitng Scale) which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most severe pain imaginable).
Time frame: 24 hours preoperatively
Discharge Time
Time frame: From surgery to discharge up to 30 days
Postoperative Mortality and Morbidity
Postoperative complications such as infections, embolism, chronic pain and survival status
Time frame: 30 days after surgery
Opioid Consumption
Opioid consumption will be assessed with patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device which measures analgesic drug consumption. Fentanyl consumption unit will be micrograms.
Time frame: 24 hours preoperatively
