Is there a benefit to adding dexamethasone to levobupivacaine in ultrasound-guided adductor canal block following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?
The addition of dexamethasone to the local anesthetic during ACB after ACL reconstruction is not supported due to the lack of benefits related to postoperative pain levels and the associated increase in glucose levels.
