      and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single, individualized dose of HTX-011 administered into the
      surgical site as a monotherapy or with other medications to enhance analgesia in subjects
      undergoing unilateral simple bunionectomy.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Has a planned concurrent surgical procedure (eg, bilateral bunionectomy or collateral
             procedures on the surgical foot).

          -  Has a pre-existing concurrent acute or chronic painful physical/restrictive condition
             expected to require analgesic treatment in the postoperative period for pain.

          -  Has a contraindication or a known or suspected history of hypersensitivity or
             clinically significant idiosyncratic reaction to required study medications.

             previous 6 months.

          -  Has taken any NSAIDs within at least 10 days prior to the scheduled surgery.

          -  Has taken long-acting opioids within 3 days prior to the scheduled surgery.

          -  Has taken any opioids within 24 hours prior to the scheduled surgery.

          -  Has been administered bupivacaine within 5 days prior to the scheduled surgery.

          -  For Cohort 2 only, has been administered aprepitant or another NK1 receptor antagonist
             within 5 days prior to the scheduled surgery.

          -  Has been administered any local anesthetic within 72 hours prior to the scheduled
             surgery.

          -  Has initiated treatment with study medications within 1 month prior to study drug
             administration that can impact pain control.

             administration of study drug.

          -  Has a medical condition such that, in the opinion of the Investigator, participating
             in the study would pose a health risk to the subject or confound the postoperative
