Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial[The utility of digital infiltration of mepivacaine and ketorolac in postoperative analgesia of the unilateral hallux valgus].
To determine whether locally injected ketorolac provides analgesia additional to that of mepivacaine, and also to prevent, diminish or delay the peripheral hypersensitivity response of postoperative pain. ⋯ Infiltration of 30 mg of ketorolac along with mepivacaine delays the appearance of postoperative pain and diminishes it in the first 24 hours after surgery to correct hallux valgus, in comparison with infiltration of mepivacaine alone plus intravenous ketorolac.
