First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 29 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 and need for opioid painkillers will be checked every 12 hours for three days. The goal is to find a simpler way to control pain and reduce opioid use after orthopedic trauma.
