Study Summary

Continuous femoral nerve blocks (CFNB) provide effective pain control to patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR). However the resulting motor blockade can lead to decreased quadriceps muscle strength and delayed functional recovery.The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of Liposome Bupivacaine infiltration into the knee to CFNB on pain control and functional recovery

Primary Outcome

Pain intensity at maximum knee flexion measured using a 0-10 visual analog scale. Higher values represent a higher pain intensity or worse outcome.

Interventions

  • DRUG Bupivacaine HCl
  • DRUG Liposome Bupivacaine
