Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty under general anesthesia
  • Patients undergoing open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of a proximal humerus fracture under general anesthesia
  • Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification of 1-3
  • Patients meeting criteria for standard of care continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) per anesthesia guidelines.
  • Patients agreeing to be available for brief follow up telephone survey post- operatively and being mentally able to respond.
  • Patients available for follow up routine post-operative clinic visits, per standard of care.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindications to regional anesthesia
  • Significant peripheral neuropathy or neurological disorder affecting the upper extremity
  • Contraindication to a component of multimodal analgesia
  • Pregnancy
  • Opioid tolerance
  • Cognitive or psychiatric condition that might affect patient assessment and/or inability to provide informed consent.

Arm Description

One time injection of 1.3% Liposomal Bupivacaine during shoulder arthroplasty

Peripheral nerve block (CISB) with 0.125% bupivacaine during shoulder arthroplasty .

One time injection of 1.3% Liposomal Bupivacaine during Humerus Fracture Fixation

Peripheral nerve block (CISB) with 0.125% bupivacaine during fracture fixation

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Quality of Analgesia
Quality of analgesia as measured by numerical rating scores for pain (active and at rest) as (0=no pain, 10= worst pain) every two hours for the initial 36 hours, then on day2, day7 and day30 postoperatively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Post Operative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES)
American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score is an outcome reporting measure for assessments of shoulder function in patients with shoulder pathology and after shoulder arthroplasty surgery. ASES is a 100 points scale consisting of two measures: one pain scale (worth 50 points) and 10 activities of daily living(worth 50 points), the total score is the sum of both and the higher total score indicates better outcome.
Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV)
Functional assessments after shoulder arthroplasty surgery. The SSV is defined as a patient's subjective shoulder assessment expressed as a percentage of an entirely normal shoulder, which would score 100%. The range is between 0% and 100%
Incidence of Nerve Injury
Neuropraxia on the treatment side

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of liposomal Bupivacaine infiltration into the shoulder to continues nerve block with Bupivacaine on postoperative pain control and functional outcomes.
Detailed Description
liposomal bupivacaine analgesia will provide improved postoperative pain control, reduction in amount of opioid supplementation, decreased complications and faster return to function compared to current standard of care pain management for patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty and shoulder surgery for proximal humerus fractures.
