Summary
This study tests a new drug called HSK55718 for pain after orthopedic surgery. About 200 adults will receive either the new drug, morphine, or a placebo. Researchers will measure how well it controls pain and how satisfied patients are. The goal is to find a safer or more effective pain relief option.
