Liposomal Bupivacaine vs Adductor Canal Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Summary

This study is being done to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing total knee replacement with two different methods of local pain control:shots of liposomal bupivacaine, a long acting anesthetic, directly into the knee during surgery or anesthetic delivered continuously to the adductor canal to provide long term pain relief. The goal is to try to find a standard protocol that provides the greatest pain relief for patients undergoing total knee replacement.
