Description
Less numbing drug plus a steroid may serve hip replacement patients just as well, Tomasz Reysner and co-authors test in a 2025 trial. The PENG block numbs nerves around the hip joint, but big drug volumes can weaken the thigh muscle. Sixty adults having hip replacement through a top approach joined the study.
Half got the standard twenty-milliliter block. The rest got half the volume plus a small dose of steroid placed by the nerves. Time until pain returns headlines the measures, with opioid use and leg strength close behind. If low volume wins, patients could walk sooner with the same comfort.
