Abstract
A total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is a common orthopedic procedure that is associated with severe postoperative pain. An interscalene block (ISB) is the standard peripheral nerve block (PNB) for this surgery as it results in regional anesthesia for the shoulder and upper arm; however, emerging data revealed that an ISB provides only 8 hours of adequate analgesia. The addition of either perineural or intravenous (IV) dexamethasone to the local anesthetic is an opioid sparing technique that has been shown to significantly prolong the duration of various PNBs including an ISB in recent years.
