Peri-incisional Local Infiltrative Anesthesia (PLIA) for Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO)

Anesthesia Orthopedics Healthy Subjects Pediatric Subjects Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different peri-incisional local infiltrative anesthesia (PLIA) methods in patients ages 13 to 50 undergoing a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The main questions to answer here are:

1. Does PLIA impact post-operative pain after PAO?
2. Does PLIA impact pain medication usage as measured by morphine equivalent dosing (MED) after PAO?
3. Does the timing of PLIA administration impact post-operative pain and MED after PAO? Participants will be asked to complete some surveys; demographics survey, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) and the Pain Resilience Scale. All other information will be gathered from the patients medical chart.

Researchers will compare three groups. 1.) Patients who do not receive PLIA. 2.) Patients who receive PLIA after their incision is closed. 3.) Patients who receive PLIA throughout PAO.
