Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with hip fractures who undergo cryoablation of the PENG have improved pain control 30 days from surgery when compared to those who have a fascia iliaca catheter.

Interventions

  • Drug PENG block and cryoablation
    will receive an ultrasound guided PENG block with 20 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine followed by cryoablation of the PENG nerves.
  • Drug fascia iliaca compartment block
    will receive an ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment catheter with initial bolus of 20 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine followed by infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine at 10 mL per hour

Primary outcome measures

  • Maximum pain score on Post-operative day 30 [Time frame: 30 days post surgery]
  • Opioid use [Time frame: day 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 post surgery]
  • functional pain scores [Time frame: day 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 post surgery post surgery]
  • number of patients using opioids [Time frame: 30 days post surgery]
  • Length of Hospital Stay [Time frame: 30 days post surgery]
  • Time to first ambulation [Time frame: 30 days post surgery]
  • Number of patients returned home by Post Operative Day 30 [Time frame: 30 days post surgery]
