Single-shot LIA with ropivacaine alone reduces the pain score during the first 12 postoperative hours and improves patients' satisfaction with THA. LIA in the deep and superficial fascia and LIA in all layers have similar analgesic effects. LIA in the deep and superficial fascia may be an alternative method to LIA in all layers.
