Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether dexamethasone as an adjuvant to ropivacaine for adductor canal block increases duration of the sensory block, when controlling for a systemic effect using a paired design and bilateral blocks.

The investigators hypothesize that adding dexamethasone to ropivacaine will prolong block duration compared with ropivacaine + placebo.
