Notes

March 6th 2013: This review has been transferred from the Cochrane Pain, Palliative & Supportive Care Review Group to the Cochrane Anaesthesia Group. The lead author's contact details were also updated.

January 2014: The former authors of this review (Choi 2003) have decided not to continue with the topic. A new team has taken the review over. The new authors have decided to change the scope of the review. They have registered a title "Nerve blocks or no nerve blocks for elective hip replacement (arthroplasty) surgery". When that new protocol is published, the current review (Choi 2003) will be withdrawn from The Cochrane Library.
