Authors' recommendations:
Although results from two randomized controlled trials demonstrated clinical efficacy of celecoxib in reducing post-operative pain following arthroplasty, no studies were identified comparing celecoxib to other NSAIDs. There were also no studies identified on the effect of celecoxib on pain following spinal surgery and orthopedic surgery. Because of the lack of systematic reviews on the topic, no overall conclusion can be drawn on the clinical efficacy and harm of celecoxib for post-operative pain management following arthroplasty, spinal surgery, or orthopedic surgery.
