Summary
Selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors are commonly used analgesics that provide similar
analgesia but reduced adverse effects compared to other analgesics. However, few studies have
been conducted on postoperative pain and tendon-to-bone healing. Here, the investigators
investigated the effect of a selective COX-2 inhibitor on analgesia and tendon-to-bone
healing following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
