Effect of Toradol on Post-operative Foot and Ankle Healing
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Ketorolac and No ketorolac for Ankle Fractures and Trauma Injury. Completed, enrolled 128 participants.
Detailed Summary
The use of Toradol for pain control in surgical orthopedic cases is currently a topic of interest within the field. The proposed study is a prospective randomized study evaluating postoperative pain, opioid requirement, complication/reoperation rates and nonunion rates in patients undergoing surgical treatment for isolated lateral malleolar fibula fractures. Patients will be randomized to either the Treatment Group (Toradol) or the Control Group (Non-Toradol). Both Toradol and non-Toradol drug regimens are currently prescribed by the Foot and Ankle Team at the Rothman Institute and this study will serve as a valuable comparison.
