Abstract
Effective pain control following surgery is a concern. Oral narcotic agents may be effective yet have many side effects. Parenteral agents are impractical in outpatient procedures. Local blocks may distort tissue planes and require additional time and technical skill to administer. We have found that instillation of local anesthetic (0.5% bupivacaine [Marcaine, Sensorcaine]) into the wound prior to closure is a safe and effective means of providing significant reduction in postoperative foot pain.Keywords
