Efficacy of Single Injection Femoral Nerve Block With Liposomal Bupivacaine for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the quality and duration of pain relief after a total knee replacement provided by a single shot of standard bupivacaine versus a single shot of liposomal bupivacaine, at the site of the femoral nerve. It is hypothesized that the liposomal bupivacaine formulation will provide more effective pain relief than standard bupivacaine.
