Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block Results in Significant Opioid Reduction in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for pain control intraoperatively in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (primary-27130) (THA), compared to opioid based analgesia. The PENG block is an emerging regional anesthesia technique that aims to provide hip analgesia with preservation of motor function offering benefit over existing regional techniques while reducing overall opioid requirements.

Design: A retrospective cohort chart review and analysis.
