Brief Summary
patients will then be randomized in the two groups.
- 1.Group C: in this group children will receive US-guided caudal analgesia (CA) after GA. The caudal block will be performed
- 2.Group B: in this group children will receive lower limb peripheral nerve blocks in the form of US-guided fascia iliaca Block.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
• Estimation of time of first rescue postoperative analgesia
4 hours postoperatively
Study Arms (2)
Group C: in this group children will receive US-guided caudal analgesia (CA) after GA.
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe caudal block will be performed by visualizing the sacral hiatus at the level of the sacral cornu after placing the probe transversely obtaining a short axis view
Group B: in this group children will receive lower limb peripheral nerve blocks in the form of US
EXPERIMENTALWith the patient in the proper position, the skin is disinfected and the transducer positioned to identify the femoral artery and the iliopsoas muscle and fascia iliaca. The transducer is moved laterally until the sartorius muscle is identified. After a skin wheal is made, the needle is inserted in-plane
