Summary
Anterior cruciate ligament reapair is a painful procedure. Single shot femoral and sciatic
nerve block only last 12-16 hrs. Since dexamethasone prolongs brachial plexus block, using it
in lower extremity blocks will prolong the analgesia to provide better outpatient pain relief
after surgery at home.
