ABSTRACT
Enhanced recovery after total hip arthroplasty aims to facilitate return to function and early hospital discharge, but the role of novel fascial plane block techniques in such pathways is uncertain. A randomised trial by Kukreja and colleagues describes superior quality of recovery after hip arthroplasty in patients receiving a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. We discuss the trial findings in the context of ongoing uncertainty regarding best analgesic practice for this surgical procedure.
