Summary
The purpose of this study is to definitively resolve questions regarding the use of
multimodal pharmacologic pain management for orthopedic trauma patients in the context of a
multicenter, randomized clinical trial.
Also, as a significant proportion of this population develops chronic post traumatic
osteoarthritis (PTOA), a sub-objective of this study is to examine the etiology and incidence
of chronic pain and PTOA in this population.
