Core Tip Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip was one of the dreaded complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which emerged in patients who received steroid therapy. Corticosteroids have been a mainstay in the COVID-19 treatment protocol. High doses of corticosteroids have shown positive results and have been lifesaving in many cases. Still, long-term consequences were AVN of the hip, which unfortunately affected young individuals. These patients were posted for bilateral hip replacement surgeries. Our study aimed to study the dynamics of pericapsular end nerve block to provide adequate analgesia to these patients for enhanced postoperative recovery and discharge. While epidural analgesia is the gold standard technique, it has several complications like hypotension, motor blockade and urinary retention.
