Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to see if Exparel, used intraoperatively by injecting at the surgical site, followed by a Supraclavicular nerve block with bupivacaine in the recovery room, will provide better pain scores for patients at 24 and 48 hours post operatively than, 1)Bupivacaine Hydrochloride (HCL) injection at the surgical site, with a supraclavicular block in Post-anesthesia care unit(PACU), or 2)a supraclavicular block in PACU without any kind of injection at the surgical site.

Exparel plus supraclavicular block

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group A (Exparel plus supraclavicular block)

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive 20 cc (266 mg) of Exparel injected in the distal radius area and a supraclavicular block in the recovery room.The supraclavicular blocks will be ultrasound guided and consist of 20 cc of Bupivacaine HCl 0.25% .Anesthesiologist performing the block will be instructed to surround the brachial plexus with the local anesthetic, taking special care to inject in the "corner pocket".

Bupivacaine HCL plus supraclavicular block

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Group B (Bupivacaine HCL plus supraclavicular block)

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive 20 cc of Bupivacaine 0.25% (50mg) in the distal radius area.In the recovery room the patient will be given the supraclavicular block which will be ultrasound guided and consisting of 20 cc of Bupivacaine HCl 0.25% .Anesthesiologist performing the block will be instructed to surround the brachial plexus with the local anesthetic, taking special care to inject in the "corner pocket".
