What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new local anesthesia technique can control pain as well as the standard spinal anesthesia for adults having hip endoprosthesis surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the new local anesthesia technique as effective as standard spinal anesthesia in managing pain during the first two days after surgery? * Does the new technique allow participants to move their leg sooner after the operation? Researchers will compare the new local anesthesia technique (numbing medicine injected directly around the hip joint) to standard spinal anesthesia (a numbing injection in the back) to see if the new technique works just as well for pain control while possibly causing fewer side effects like nausea. Participants who join this study will be randomly placed into one of two groups. One group will receive the standard spinal anesthesia before their surgery. The other group will receive the new local anesthesia technique before their surgery. After the operation, researchers will track the amount of extra pain medicine each participant uses and will check their ability to move their hip, knee, and foot.
