Summary

This study tests whether adding a non-opioid painkiller (ketorolac) to standard opioid pain medicine can reduce the amount of opioids needed after preventive thigh bone surgery. The surgery is for patients with cancer that has spread to the thigh bone but who do not have a broken bone. The study will enroll 60 adults and compare pain control and opioid use over the first two weeks after surgery.
