Summary

This study tests whether giving the painkiller ketorolac directly into the blood flow of a leg (while a tourniquet is inflated) can extend pain relief after lower limb orthopedic surgery. About 76 adults having elective leg surgery under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive either ketorolac or a placebo. The main goal is to see how long it takes before patients need additional pain medication.
