Nonsteroidal antiinflamatory drugs (NSAIDs) lead to satisfactory acute and chronic pain relief. Besides that, they exert potent antiinflamatory effect. Their analgesic potency is dose related and limited. Orthopedic patients are often on these medications preoperatively and experience opioid-sparing effect in the postoperative period. Chronic NSAIDs use is related to higher rate of sistemic adverse effects , but even short time exposure in the postoperative period is not risk-free. Although Coxibs reduce GIT bleeding incidence due to prolonged use of NSAIDs, there has to be judicious decision considering their cardiovascular adverse effects. There is evidence that NSAIDs interfere with antihypertensive medications, as well as producing moderate, dose-dependent increased bleeding time within normal values. High risk of bleeding have patients with established coagulopathy, alcohol abuse and on anticoagulant treatment. There is no strong evidence on influence of NSAIDs on bone growth. Nevertheless, there is evidence that NSAIDs do prevent heterotropic ossification. Prostaglandins are vital contributors for maintainig tissue homeostasis and NSAIDs use can lead to many unwanted effects.Those adverse effect are more common with prolonged exposure, are dose-related and risks have to be carefully and individually assesed in the postoperative pain management.
