Abstract
This study was designed to explore the effects of peri-neural dexmedetomidine on the duration and motor sparing potentials of adductor canal block in adult patients undergoing arthroscopic medical meniscectomy in the setting of multimodal analgesia. Our ultimate goal was to increase the postoperative analgesic time and to preserve quadriceps muscle strength to promote safe and early ambulation. A randomized, controlled, double blinded study was conducted in cairo university hospital. Forty adult patients undergoing elective arthroscopic medial meniscectomy under general anesthesia were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups: control group (Bupivacaine group) (n=20): received adductor canal block with 0.25% bupivacaine (20 mL), and Dexmedetomidine group (n=20): received 0.25% bupivacaine (20 mL) plus dexmedetomidine (75 mcg)
