Deep iliacus plane block: Patients will receive ultrasound-guided deep iliacus plane block (DIPB) using 25 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine.

Quadratus lumborum block: Patients will receive ultrasound-guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (QLB) using 25 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine.

Study summary

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy, opioid consumption, motor function preservation, and quality of recovery of ultrasound-guided deep iliacus plane block (DIPB) and transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Both sexes. * American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III. * Scheduled for elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) under spinal anesthesia. Exclusion Criteria: * Known allergy to local anesthetics or study medications. * Coagulopathy or anticoagulant therapy contraindicating regional anesthesia. * Infection at the site of injection. * Pre-existing neurological deficits affecting the lower limbs. * Chronic opioid use or opioid dependence. * Severe hepatic, renal, respiratory, or cardiac disease. * Body mass index (BMI) \> 40 kg/m². * Contraindications to spinal anesthesia.

Primary outcome measure(s)

Degree of pain — Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with VAS. VAS (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable"). VAS will be assessed at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively.
