Brief Summary
In this study, patients receiving shoulder arthroscopy will receive an interscalene block for pain management containing either liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine or standard bupivacaine and dexamethasone. Patients will be followed up with to determine postoperative pain and block duration.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain at Rest Over 72 Hours
NRS pain at rest averaged over the first 72 hours. NRS pain is on a scale from 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Patient reported pain at 24, 48, and 72 hours are averaged to produce this number. Lower score is a better outcome.
First 72 hours pain
