• Fascia Iliaca Block

The Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) is a simple block for post-operative pain relief for procedures and injuries involving the hip, anterior thigh, and knee.  This block is useful, pre and post-operatively, for fractures of the hip and proximal femur, as well as total hip arthroplasties.
