The aim of this study to compare the analgesic effects of intraarticular dexmedetomidine added to bupivacaine with those of bupivacaine alone after knee arthroscopy
prospective double-blind study perform on 75 patients candidates for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by knee arthroscopy refer to the clinic of Al Azhar University Hospital, Assiut, Egypt, to evaluate the effect of adding dexmedetomidine to intra articular bupivacaine injection on postoperative pain after knee arthroscopy.

Change on the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain (0 = no pain to 100 = the maximum pain) to assessment the duration of analgesia following intra articular injection of Bupivacaine and Dexmedetomidine after knee arthroscopy
Time frame: post operative at 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, and 24 hour .
Total meperidine consumption . Meperidine will be used intravenously if the visual analog scale ( VAS) score was >50 to control postoperative pain.
the secondary outcome variables will be the total dose of meperidine given between the study groups.Meperidine will be used intravenously if the visual analog scale ( VAS) score was \>50 to control postoperative pain.
Time frame: The total dose of meperidine given between the study groups during the first 24 hour( post operative at 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, and 24 hour),will be recorded.
