liposomal bupivacaine analgesia will provide improved postoperative pain control, reduction in amount of opioid supplementation, decreased complications and faster return to function compared to current standard of care pain management for patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty and shoulder surgery for proximal humerus fractures. ;
