Summary
Neck of femur (NOF) fracture is a common presentation to the emergency department,
particularly in our older population. NOF fracture is associated with a high social and
economic cost with significant effects on patients' quality of life. Analgesia and ambulation
are important determinants of outcome following NOF surgery. We propose to compare whether
PENG or Femoral Nerve Block is associated with a greater degree of quadriceps motor
dysfunction.
