First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study tests whether a single injection of long-lasting pain medicine (Exparel) works as well as a continuous drip of pain medicine through small tubes (catheters) for people having surgery after a broken leg or ankle. About 90 patients will receive one of the two treatments before surgery, and their pain levels and need for opioid painkillers will be checked every 12 hours for 3 days. The goal is to find a simpler way to manage pain after these injuries.
