This clinical trial aims to compare the effect of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) and suprainguinal fascia iliaca blocks (SIFIB) on pain management in elderly patients with subtrochanteric femur fractures. The participants will be patients determined to have proximal femoral nailing. According to randomisation, each participant will receive either PENG or SIFIB postoperatively after spinal anaesthesia. The investigator will measure postoperative pain scores, total amount of analgesic consumption and motor ability postoperatively.
