Citation Health Quality Ontario. Pre-emptive oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or acetaminophen for knee arthroscopy: a rapid review. Toronto: Health Quality Ontario (HQO). Rapid Review. 2014 Authors' conclusions 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.
