Over-the-Counter Medications as Effective as Opioids for Post-Elbow Surgery Pain Control

Surgeons at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have found that over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen provide similar pain control as opioids for children undergoing routine elbow surgery. The study, published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, suggests that recommending non-opioid medications can improve opioid stewardship and reduce the risk of opioid misuse and diversion. The researchers found no significant differences in pain ratings between the opioid and non-opioid groups, with many patients prescribed opioids not taking them or taking them for only a short period of time. The findings support the use of non-opioid pain control for elbow and similar surgeries, potentially leading to improved quality and safety of surgical care in pediatric orthopaedics.
