Femoral Peri-arterial Local Anesthetic Injection Via Peri-arterial Perineural Catheter Reverses Tourniquet Associated Ischemic Hypertension

The goal of this prospective randomized double-blind study is to determine if an ultrasound guided peri-arterial injection of local anesthetic (LA) superomedially the femoral artery via peripheral nerve catheter reverses ischemic hypertension associated with prolonged lower extremity tourniquet time.

Efficacy of EXPAREL vs. Bupivacaine

The goal of this clinical study is to learn about pain management strategies in subjects undergoing total ankle replacement. arthroplasty surgery The primary objective is to compare the magnitude of the analgesic effect following a single dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine (HCl). Secondary objectives are to: Compare the total opioid consumption (in oral morphine equivalents) from 0 to 96 hours following a single dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine HCl * Compare the time to first opioid consumption following a single dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine HCl * Assess the safety of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine HCl * Evaluate subject satisfaction with pain management following a single-dose injection of EXPAREL vs. 0.25% bupivacaine hydrochloride (HCl) * Compare clinical performance from Preoperative status to 3- and 12- months postoperatively

The UK ADAPTIS Study

An ankle replacement procedure consists of replacing the worn-out joint surfaces of the ankle with metal and plastic components that are shaped to allow continued movement of the ankle. There are several different types of ankle replacement available. Infinity ankle implants are already routinely used in NHS hospitals. The INFINITY™ with ADAPTIS™ and EVERLAST™ ankle replacement system is a development of the Infinity ankle implant, designed to attach to the bone better and to wear out more slowly. The purpose of the UK ADAPTIS™ Study is to assess the performance and function of the newly introduced INFINITY™ with ADAPTIS™ and EVERLAST™ technology Total Ankle System for total ankle replacement (TAR) or arthroplasty (TAA) and EVERLAST™ Poly Insert that modernises and streamlines Stryker's TAA/TAR portfolio. UK ADAPTIS is a prospective multi-centre cohort series of INFINITY™ with ADAPTIS™ and EVERLAST™ Technology with Poly Insert for patients requiring primary total ankle replacement (TAR) i.e. Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA). Patients meeting the criteria for the study will be asked to enrol by providing written informed consent. The patients will be monitored clinically by post-operative follow-up examinations and Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) (Manchester Oxford Foot \& Ankle Questionnaire (MOXFQ), Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS), EQ5D-5L). Intended use: It is intended to give a patient limited mobility by reducing pain, restoring alignment, and replacing flexion and extension movement in the ankle joint. Indications for use: * Patients with ankle joints damaged by severe rheumatoid, post-traumatic, or degenerative arthritis. * Patients with a failed previous ankle surgery.
