Postoperative Ketorolac Administration and Pseudoarthrosis Following Lumbar Spinal Fusion

Postoperative ketorolac may reduce short-term opioid use and thromboembolic risk without increasing pseudoarthrosis or mechanical complications. These findings support ketorolac as a potentially safe adjunct in postoperative pain management. Further randomized trials are warranted.
