Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the quality and duration of pain relief after
shoulder surgery provided by a single injection of liposomal bupivacaine versus standard
bupivacaine when administered as an interscalene brachial plexus block. It is hypothesized
that the liposomal bupivacaine formulation will provide more effective pain relief than
standard bupivacaine.
