Intertrochanteric femur fractures are common in elderly patients and are associated with significant pain. Providing effective analgesia is clinically important both during positioning for spinal anesthesia and in the postoperative period in this patient population. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is a regional anesthesia technique that targets the articular branches of the hip capsule and may provide effective analgesia with motor-sparing potential. The Deep Iliacus Plane Block (DIPB) is a newer approach that may spread to both the articular branches and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Although both blocks are used in patients with intertrochanteric fractures, there is a lack of sufficient randomized controlled data comparing their effectiveness for pain during positioning for spinal anesthesia and for postoperative analgesia. Therefore, it is important to determine whi
