Fascia iliaca compartment block is an alternative analgesic technique for hip surgeries. In the new suprainguinal technique, the 'bowtie' sign is detected with an ultrasound probe, and local anaesthetic is injected into the fascial plane with in-plane approach. In this retrospective study, we compared the postoperative analgesic efficacy of suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after major hip surgery in elderly patients.
