Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of local infiltration of liposomal
bupivacaine versus use of an indwelling femoral peripheral nerve block in controlling early
postoperative pain in primary total knee arthroplasty. The investigators hope to demonstrate
equivalency of treatment modalities to provide an alternative to the commonly used treatment
of femoral nerve blockade.
