Ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block for pain control in total hip arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Medicine (Baltimore) . 2023 Nov 24;102(47):e36145.Eight randomized controlled trials (656 patients) comparing an ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) against a quadratus lumborum block (QLB) for total hip arthroplasty were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis.
