Hypobaric versus isobaric spinal Levobupivacaine for total hip arthroplasty.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing THA under spinal anesthesia 12.5 mg of hypobaric levobupivacaine, compared with the same dose of isobaric levobupivacaine, allow shorter onset time for sensory block and delayed regression of sensory and motor block in the nondependent side.
