The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ibuprofen and dexketoprofen, two common analgesic drugs used in pain control in patients with long bone fractures.
Long bone fractures are the fractures of long bones (tibia, femur, humerus) in the human body. Such fractures usually occur as a result of trauma and are manifested by symptoms such as pain, swelling, bruising and limitation of movement. Effective control of pain can help the patient relax and facilitate the healing process. Ibuprofen and dexketoprofen, which belong to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), are among the analgesics commonly used in the pain management of all fractures. These drugs are thought to be able to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and help patients move. However, each patient's individual response and tolerance may differ, so the efficacy and side effects of each drug may vary from patient to patient. This makes it difficult to determine which analgesic is more effective and safe in clinical practice. The fact that it is a subject that has not been done much in the literature has led us to do this study.
