Postoperative Pain
Efficacy of an Epidural Versus a Fascia Iliaca Compartment Catheter After Hip Surgery
The investigators are investigating two ways of treating pain after hip surgery. One way is though a thin tube (called a catheter), and it is placed into the back so that pain-numbing drugs can reach the nerves near the backbone.
