Liposomal Bupivacaine vs Peripheral Nerve Block

Summary

Liposomal bupivacaine has gained interest in recent literature for its potential to be an effective adjunct to other pain control modalities in a multi-modal approach to post-operative pain control. The goal of this investigation is to compare the efficacy of local administration of liposomal bupivacaine versus the efficacy of a peripheral nerve block in terms of post-operative pain scores after elective ankle and hindfoot surgery. The investigators hypothesize that there will not be a significant difference in the pain scores of these two groups in opioid naïve patients.
