Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluation of the efficacy of preemptive versus postoperative administration of etoricoxib in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators conducted a prospective randomized controlled study in 165 patients American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score I-III scheduled for primary TKA, divided in 3 groups: group A (Etoricoxib 120 mg orally one hour before surgery), group B (Etoricoxib 120 mg orally at the end of surgery) and group C placebo. Surgery has been performed under spinal anesthesia.

All groups received postoperative analgesia when Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) over 3 with intravenous (IV) Perfalgan and morphine on demand for the following 48 h.

The effectiveness was evaluated by the time from the initiation of spinal anesthesia until the first analgesic dose at NRS \> 3, the total amount of morphine in the first 24 and 48 hours postoperative, the side effects and necessary amount of adjuvant medication.
