Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the difference in perioperative pain after shoulder
surgery with a standard bupivacaine nerve block compared to liposomal bupivacaine enhanced
nerve block alone in TSA and ARCR. Data will be compared using VAS scores and opiate
consumption between the two groups. The hypothesis of this study is that an interscalene
nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine will decrease both postoperative VAS pain scores and
total narcotic consumption when compared to a standard bupivacaine interscalene nerve block
alone.
