Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of liposomal Bupivacaine infiltration into the shoulder to continues nerve block with Bupivacaine on postoperative pain control and functional outcomes.

Detailed description

liposomal bupivacaine analgesia will provide improved postoperative pain control, reduction in amount of opioid supplementation, decreased complications and faster return to function compared to current standard of care pain management for patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty and shoulder surgery for proximal humerus fractures.

Conditions

• Fracture of Shoulder and Upper Arm

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	1.3% Liposomal Bupivacaine	local tissue infiltration of Liposomal Bupivacaine during surgery
DRUG	0.125% Bupivacaine	Continues nerve block with Bupivacaine during surgery and postoperatively
