Fascia Iliaca Block

The Fascia Iliaca Block is a medical procedure used to manage pain, especially after hip or thigh surgeries. It involves injecting a local anesthetic into a specific area near the hip, targeting the fascia iliaca, a connective tissue layer. This injection numbs the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the hip and thigh, providing effective pain relief. It is a less invasive alternative to general anesthesia, helping patients to recover more comfortably and often allowing them to move and engage in rehabilitation sooner.
