- Title
Pain Management After Orthopedic Trauma: Guidelines From the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association.
- Abstract
Opioids have been traditionally used for analgesia after orthopedic trauma because of concern that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use increases fracture nonunion. Because opioid misuse and abuse have risen to critical levels and opioid use has also been associated with fracture nonunion, the safety of NSAID use after orthopedic trauma is an open question. The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association conducted systematic reviews to publish guidelines for the use of NSAIDs after traumatic orthopedic fractures in adults with regard to acute pain control and risk of nonunion.
