Article Abstract
Isolated hip fractures incur significant mortality within 1 year of operative repair. Adequate analgesia is important in maintaining functional status and facilitating recovery. A multi-modal pain management strategy incorporating regional anesthesia may decrease the need for high-dose narcotics and promote faster recovery. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block was thus developed as a regional anesthesia option for patients with hip fractures. It involves an ultrasound-guided approach that targets the anterior hip zone to provide a motor-sparing hip block. This write-up provides a sequential, step-by-step guide on how to perform the PENG block in the emergency department.

Entropy, characterized by increased disorder throughout biological systems, can be quantified by homeostatic dysregulation (HD). One potential measure of HD is the dispersion of points from a normal value, approximated at the individual level by Mahalanobis distance (D). We hypothesized that greater HD in electrocardiogram (ECG) would also reflect greater HD in the musculoskeletal system which, in turn, would be associated with age and manifest as an increased risk of fracture independently of age, bone mineral density (BMD), and history of fracture.

Osteoporotic hip fractures are a considerable cause of pain and disability particularly among the elderly. Osteoporosis causes loss of bone stability, which in turn leads to an increased risk of fractures especially in metaphyseal bone. Moreover, the body's capacity for healing is diminished, resulting in prolonged recovery times following these fractures.

Unlabelled: REMS-BMD by radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry is primarily determined by a patient's BMI, age, and sex. Only about 2.8% of the changes in femoral neck REMS-BMD can be attributed to replacement of the total hip with metal implants.
