About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of administering CBD to control post-operative pain in patients undergoing ankle fracture open reduction and internal fixation, tibial plafond (pilon) open reduction and internal fixation, tibial shaft repair (open reduction internal fixation or intramedullary nail fixation), or tibial plateau open reduction and internal fixation.
