Ketorolac: A Potential Adjuvant for Postoperative Pain Management

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a common procedure that can lead to significant postoperative pain. While opioid analgesics are often used, they come with side effects and potential for abuse. This study explores the efficacy of ketorolac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), as an adjunctive agent for postoperative pain management after RCR.

Ketorolac: A Potential Alternative for Postoperative Pain Control

The researchers investigated the potential of ketorolac to reduce postoperative pain after RCR. The study aims to determine its efficacy as an adjunctive agent, potentially offering an alternative to opioid analgesics.

Improving Pain Management After Rotator Cuff Repair

If effective, ketorolac could provide a valuable tool for managing postoperative pain after RCR, potentially reducing the reliance on opioids and their associated side effects.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This research presents a promising exploration of ketorolac as an adjunctive agent for postoperative pain management after RCR. The study's findings could contribute to a safer and more effective approach to pain control following this common procedure.
