Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with hip fractures who undergo cryoablation of the PENG have improved pain control 30 days from surgery when compared to those who have a fascia iliaca catheter.
