Data are presented as median (IQR). Multiple time points were compared using repeated-measures ANOVA. Comparison between the groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Fintergroup: F-value of the test statistic for inter-group comparison between groups; Ftime: F-value of the test statistic for multiple time points comparison between groups; FInteraction: F-value of the test statistic for interaction comparison between groups. a Denotes statistical significance compared to the T0 within the group. PENG group: continuous pericapsular nerve group block; FICB group: continuous fascia iliac compartment block. NRS: numerical rating scale. CI: interquartile range
