Don’t take this wrong. LOVE YOU DOC. Lol I had a hip fracture and pelvis. And broke right arm. And the dr said to me I’ll give ya something for pain. But FYI these types of fractures hurt. Omg was he right
i had one of these done on my shoulder prior to a couple of arthroscopic surgeries and was pleasantly surprised to have almost zero pain after surgery despite having my arm paralyzed for a few days. the local anesthetic shot stings, but it is well worth it!
A prefer either a fascia iliaca or a PENG block for hip fracture patients. I feel they are both far superior than a femoral nerve block. But the femoral nerve block is very easy to perform so that is usually why most providers choose it.
