Volume Dependent Effect of Pericapsular Nerve Block

Summary

In PENG block technique, the local anesthetic agent is injected between the psoas tendon and the pubic ramus to block the sensory branches of the nerves which innervates the hip capsule for providing analgesia without causing muscle weakness. Since the PENG block is a facial plane block, it causes a volume dependent distribution. There are a few case reposts and cadaveric studies on volume dependent effect of analgesia and motor weakness of PENG block. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of the volume-dependent efficacy of PENG block.
