Summary
Arthroscopic meniscus surgeries are the most frequent orthopedic procedures. The objective of
the study is to compare the effects of intraarticular local anesthetic and adjuvant
(dexmedetomidine vs magnesium) combinations in postoperative pain and analgesic requirement.
The investigators' hypothesis is adjuvants added to the local anesthetics decreases the total
local anesthetic dose, provides more effective pain relief according to local anesthetic
only, and decreases the postoperative systemic non-steroidal analgesic and opioid doses.
