مستخلص: A recent study conducted by the Department of Orthopedic Surgery examined the impact of postoperative intravenous dexamethasone supplementation on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion. The study found that the addition of dexamethasone to the postoperative care pathway resulted in decreased pain scores, opioid consumption, and shorter hospital stays. The research compared three cohorts of patients and found that the cohort receiving dexamethasone demonstrated statistically significant improvements compared to the other cohorts. This study provides valuable insights into improving postoperative care for scoliosis patients and reducing the need for opioids. [Extracted from the article]
