Treatments tested in this trial
ZYNRELEF 400Mg-12Mg Extended-Release Solution
DrugA single 14 mL dose of HTX-011 containing 400 mg bupivacaine and 12 mg meloxicam will be applied intraoperatively to the surgical site. This FDA-approved formulation is designed to provide sustained analgesia for up to 72 hours following total knee arthroplasty.
Ultrasound-Guided Adductor Canal Block
Procedure/SurgeryA board-certified anesthesiologist or regional anesthesia-trained provider will perform an ultrasound-guided adductor canal block under sterile conditions while the patient remains under spinal anesthesia. A high-frequency linear ultrasound probe will be used to visualize the adductor canal and saphenous nerve.
Ropivacaine 0.5% Injectable Solution
DrugA single injection of 30 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine will be administered into the adductor canal to provide postoperative analgesia. This dose is standard for adductor canal blocks and is intended to minimize motor blockade while providing effective pain control.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Mean Milligram Morphine Equivalents (MME)
Mean cumulative milligram morphine equivalents (MME) administered at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48, and 72 hours following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Values will be compared between patients receiving Zynrelef and those receiving adductor canal block (ACB)
Secondary outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores
Pain scores assessed 4 hours after surgery and at 6 weeks follow up using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment consists of a line drawn in the form of a ruler, and numbers from 0 to 10 (with 0 as "no pain" and 10 as "unbearable pain"
Hospital length of stay measured in hours
Average hospital length of stay measured in hours
Knee range of motion
Knee range of motion will be measured in degrees using a standardized goniometer or equivalent clinical tool. Assessments will be conducted postoperatively (within 48 hours of surgery) and at 6-week follow-up. Higher degrees indicate improved joint mobility.
