Official Title: Ultrasound-guided Specific Blocks of the Distal Tibial and Deep Peroneal Nerves at the Level of the Ankle With a Mixture of Bupivacaine + Liposome Bupivacaine v Bupivacaine Alone v General Anesthesia
Brief Summary: Postoperative analgesia for hallux valgus surgery (bunionectomy) is inconsistent and may even result in rebound pain when the (ankle) blocks wear off. It is hypothesized that the mixture of bupivacaine and liposome bupivacaine increases the extent and duration of postoperative analgesia and decreases opioid consumption as compared to bupivacaine alone or to general anesthesia.
