  • The subject is ≥ 18 years
  • The subject's primary anesthesia care team has planned for a neuraxial anesthetic (i.e. spinal, epidural or combined-spinal epidural)
  • The patient consents for an adductor canal block
  • Willing and able to sign an informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subject is \< 18 years of age.
  • Patients receiving general anesthesia for the total knee arthroplasty.
  • Subject has impaired decision-making capacity per discretion of the Investigator.

  • Significant pre-existing neuropathy on the operative limb.
  • Significant chronic pain disorders (i.e. fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome I \& II, among others).
  • Subject has sustained a significant trauma to the operative knee.
  • Chronic Opioid Use (daily or almost daily use of opioids for \> 3 months).

Arms & Interventions

Liposomal Bupivacaine Intervention Group

Participants undergoing elective TKA surgery that are randomized to the intervention group will undergo an ultrasound-guided ACB with Liposomal Bupivacaine post TKA surgery.

Intervention: Liposomal bupivacaine
