Summary

This study tests if a longer-lasting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than the standard one for wrist fracture surgery. About 100 adults will receive a nerve block before surgery, and their pain and recovery will be tracked for 48 hours. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age greater than or equal to 18 * Scheduled for orthopedic wrist surgery at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to regional anesthesia * Emergent surgery Open fractures will be treated emergently and will not allow adequate lead time for enrollment in this study. Also, open fractures are usually accompanied by other traumatic injuries that would confound the pain related outcomes in this study. * Significant peripheral neuropathy or neurological disorder affecting the upper extremity * Pregnancy Pregnant women have physiologic changes that make them more sensitive to local anesthetics. That would introduce a confounding element in interpreting the effectiveness of the peripheral nerve blocks being studied. * Cognitive or psychiatric condition that might affect patient assessment and/or inability to provide informed consent.
