Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if using the combination of acetaminophen (also
known as Tylenol) and ibuprofen (also known as Motrin or Advil) will provide equal or better
pain control as compared to acetaminophen-hydrocodone (also known as Lortab), in children
with broken elbows who need surgery. This study will examine whether the combination of
acetaminophen and ibuprofen can provide pain control as well as or better than
acetaminophen-hydrocodone so that doctors might be able to prescribe less
acetaminophen-hydrocodone (which can be addictive) to children in the future. Currently, the
standard of care for pain control following this kind of elbow surgery is
acetaminophen-hydrocodone.
