Study Summary

The investigators will be comparing pain scores and opioid use in patients receiving interscalene peripheral blocks with plain bupivacaine versus those receiving liposomal bupivacaine. Liposomal bupivacaine is described as releasing local anesthetic up to 72 hours after its injection; therefore if liposomal bupivacaine can provide extended pain relief compared to plain bupivacaine, the investigators can consider using it as our primary local anesthetic. As secondary outcomes, the investigators will also be looking at difference in functional status and long-term differences between the two local anesthetics.

Interventions

  • DRUG Bupivacaine Hydrochloride
  • DRUG Bupivacaine liposome
