The use of new generation non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in traumatology and orthopedics

Abstract

Efficacy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug of new generation - nimesil was studied in complex treatment of degenerative joint diseases (on coxarthrosis model), acute traumatic injuries (on knee hemarthorosis model) and after minor invasive operations (arthoroscopy). One hundred thirty three patients were studied. Seventy four patients were on nimesil therapy, 59 patients were in control group (treatment without nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or diclofenac intake). It was detected that nimesil possesses anti-inflammatory, analgetic and antipyretic effect. Besides, better comfortness of treatment, acceleration of pathlogic symptoms regression and faster functional restoration were noted. Assessment of nimesil versus diclofenac in comparable patient groups was shown its higher efficacy and better tolerance.
