Comparing liposomal bupivacaine plus bupivacaine to bupivacaine alone in interscalene blocks for rotator cuff repair surgery: a randomized clinical trial.
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare pain control after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery using either liposomal bupivacaine or bupivacaine when injected in an interscalene block. Both medications, liposomal bupivacaine and bupivacaine, are standard of care in these types of surgeries.
