Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Continuous Posterior Lumbar Plexus Nerve Block vs Periarticular Injection With Ropivacaine or Liposomal Bupivacaine (Exparel®) on Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty

NCT02242201 Phase 4 COMPLETED Results posted

Total hip arthroplasty is a one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures with increasing numbers anticipated over the next several decades. The purpose of this study was to find a better way to make patients comfortable after their hip surgery. Three different ways of providing pain relief were compared, a peripheral nerve block in the lower back outside of the spinal space (using bupivacaine, a numbing medicine), or injections around the hip joint with one of two different medicines, either Ropivacaine or Liposomal Bupivacaine (Exparel®).
