Study Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn about pain management strategies in subjects undergoing total ankle replacement. arthroplasty surgery The primary objective is to compare the magnitude of the analgesic effect following a single dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine (HCl). Secondary objectives are to: Compare the total opioid consumption (in oral morphine equivalents) from 0 to 96 hours following a single dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine HCl * Compare the time to first opioid consumption following a single dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine HCl * Assess the safety of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine HCl * Evaluate subject satisfaction with pain management following a single-dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine hydrochloride (HCl) * Compare clinical performance from Preoperative status to 3- and 12- months postoperatively

Primary Outcome

The subjects will be asked to rate their worst or average pain on a scale of 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst possible pain) on numerous time points, starting upon arrival in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
