The purpose of this voluntary research study is to clarify whether or not a single injection nerve block done before surgery and after surgery nerve block catheter can effectively enhance recovery in elderly hip fracture patients in terms of reduced delirium, reduced length of stay and improved surgical and anesthesia outcomes. Delirium is a serious change in mental abilities. It results in confused thinking and a lack of awareness of someone's surroundings. The disorder usually comes on fast - within hours or a few days. Prolonged hospital stay is one of the risk factors for onset of delirium.
