Hip arthroscopy is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain.

This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study investigates the clinically analgesic effect of anterior quadratus lumborum block with multimodal analgesia compared to multimodal analgesia alone.

The authors hypothesized that an anterior quadratus lumborum block with multimodal analgesia would be superior for pain control.

Ninety-six adult patients undergoing ambulatory hip arthroscopy were enrolled.

Patients were randomized to either a single-shot anterior quadratus lumborum block (30 ml bupivacaine 0.5% with 2 mg preservative-free dexamethasone) or no block.

All patients received neuraxial anesthesia, IV sedation, and multimodal analgesia (IV acetaminophen and ketorolac).

The primary outcome was numerical rating scale pain scores at rest and movement at 30 min and 1, 2, 3, and 24 h.
