Males and females* greater than or equal to 18 years of age. *Note: Eligible females must be post-menopausal or surgically sterile, or, if of childbearing potential, they must not be pregnant or nursing, and they must agree not to become pregnant during the study by using acceptable means of contraception for at least one month before and one month after dosing, including any of the following: hormonal contraceptives (oral, injectable, implantable), effective barrier methods (e.g. condoms with spermicide), intrauterine device (IUD), lifestyle with a personal choice of abstinence, non-hetrosexual lifestyle, or in a strictly monogamous relationship with a partner who has had a vasectomy.
2. Scheduled to undergo a primary unilateral first metatarsal bunionectomy repair** under general anesthesia with or without internal fixation. ** Note: For the purpose of this protocol, all surgical procedures involving osteotomy of the first metatarsal (significant bone resection, excision, surgical fracture, etc.) or fusion of the first metatarsal-phalangeal joints are considered qualified procedures, whether or not performed specifically to repair a bunion (hallus valgus deformity). Surgical techniques accompanied by minimal bone excision (e.g. Cheilectomy) or procedures limited to soft tissue repair are NOT eligible for this study.
3. ASA Physical Class 1 or 2
4. Able and willing to comply with all study visits and procedures
5. Capable of speaking and understanding the local language sufficiently to provide responses to pain assessment scales
6. Willing and capable of providing written informed consent
