Post-Op Pain Control for Prophylactic Intramedullary Nailing
This study is looking at ways to manage pain after surgery for people with bone metastases, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma who are having a prophylactic intramedullary nailing procedure. This surgery places a rod in the thigh bone to prevent future fractures. The study compares using the pain medication Ketorolac (an NSAID) along with standard opioid pain medicines (like oxycodone-acetaminophen or morphine) to using only opioid pain medicines. The main goal is to see if adding Ketorolac can reduce the amount of opioid medication needed for pain control in the first 14 days after surgery. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have a bone lesion in your thigh bone, and are scheduled for this specific surgery. The study plans to enroll 60 participants, but its current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Milligram Morphine Equivalent (MME) of Opioid Medications UtilizedPost-op days 1-14
Measure the effect of post-op ketorolac on the concurrent use of opioid pain medications during post-op days 1-14 following prophylactic IMN of the femur compared to patients treated only with opioids.
