Interscalene nerve block with plain bupivacaine versus liposomal bupivacaine for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A randomized controlled trial
There was no difference in the visual analog scale or morphine milligram equivalents after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with interscalene blocks using liposomal bupivacaine versus plain bupivacaine. Given the increased cost associated with liposomal bupivacaine use and the variation in multimodal pain regimens worldwide, multicenter clinical trials are necessary to examine the clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness of liposomal bupivacaine in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair.
