About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare two different methods of pain control during and after hip arthroscopy surgery. It is not clear which of many different pain control methods are ideal to reduce pain for patients; consequently, the investigators are performing this study to compare the two main choices for pain control commonly used in order to identify if either is superior to the other.

Treatment and study plan

lumbar plexus block

Procedure

Peripheral nerve block

Pericapsular injection

Procedure

Injection around the area undergoing surgery

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain score

    Time frame: At the one hour point in the PACU

    Compare post-operative pain scores in the immediate post-operative period as defined by visual-analog pain scale at the time point of one hour spent in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Morphine equivalents

    Time frame: At the two hour point in the PACU

    Compare the total morphine equivalents of opioids provided in the PACU within the first two hours of time spent in the PACU

  2. Time spent in PACU

    Time frame: Immediately after surgery

    Compare the overall time spent in the PACU as defined by time to arrival to time to discharge vitals.
