Record ID 32014001349
English
Authors' recommendations:
Based on 2 RCTs, both with limitations due to risk of bias, there were inconsistent results regarding the effectiveness of pre-emptive oral celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor NSAID, for post-operative pain control in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
No evidence was identified that evaluated the oral pre-emptive use of acetaminophen or conventional NSAIDs for post-operative pain control in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
