Recommended Use of Non‐Steroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs for Pain Treatment Following Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasties in Denmark. A National Survey
NSAIDs, especially ibuprofen, are routinely recommended as part of multimodal therapy for postoperative pain after primary total hip and knee arthroplasties in Denmark. The standard dose is 1200 mg/day, with a median treatment duration of 8 days for total hip arthroplasties and 14 days for total knee arthroplasties, though practices vary across different hospitals and regions.
