Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block may provide analgesia after hip arthroplasty and improve early functional recovery. This study evaluated postoperative opioid consumption in patients randomized to PENG or lateral quadratus lumborum block (QLB).Opioid consumption, pain scores, motor recovery, and functional outcome measures did not differ in patients randomized to PENG vs lateral QLB.PENG and lateral QLBs are analgesic options following total hip arthroplasty with similar rates of same day discharge.
