Summary
The use of Toradol for pain control in surgical orthopedic cases is currently a topic of
interest within the field. The proposed study is a prospective randomized study evaluating
postoperative pain, opioid requirement, complication/reoperation rates and nonunion rates in
patients undergoing surgical treatment for isolated lateral malleolar fibula fractures.
Patients will be randomized to either the Treatment Group (Toradol) or the Control Group
(Non-Toradol). Both Toradol and non-Toradol drug regimens are currently prescribed by the
Foot and Ankle Team at the Rothman Institute and this study will serve as a valuable
comparison.
