Brief Summary

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

1. The investigators aim to examine the use of IV and oral ketorolac as an adjunctive agent to the standard of care pain protocol for postoperative pain control following ACL reconstruction surgery.
2. The investigators hypothesize that the use of IV and oral ketorolac in addition to the standard of care pain protocol will reduce postoperative opioid consumption following ACL reconstruction surgery.
