Brief Summary:

An open reduction and internal fixation is a painful procedure requiring intensive postoperative pain management. Traditionally, opioid analgesia has been the gold standard for postoperative pain control. However, given the harmful side effect profile and opioid epidemic in the United States, it is advantageous to use alternate forms of analgesia. Multimodal pain control captures the effectiveness of different analgesic modalities and maximizes analgesia while minimizing side effects. The theory behind their use is that agents with different mechanisms of action work synergistically in preventing acute pain.

Objective: To measure postoperative pain control in patients in two treatment arms of ORIF of the clavicle: a treatment group given a nonopioid pain control regimen, and a standard of care control group given standard opioid pain control regimen.

Study Design: A randomized single blinded standard of care controlled clinical trial comparing pain management interventions. All adult patients scheduled for an ORIF following a traumatic fracture by fellowship trained Trauma surgeons will be eligible for inclusion. Patients will be excluded if their medical history presents known allergies or intolerance to Motrin, Lyrica, Tylenol, Zanaflex, substantial alcohol or drug abuse, and pregnancy, history of narcotics within 6 months of surgery, renal impairment, peptic ulcer disease, GI bleeding.

On the day of surgery, patients will be randomized to receive a nonopioid pain control regimen or an opioid regimen using a computer-generated sequence.

If pain is uncontrolled, patients will also be sent home with a prescription with 10 pills of 5 mg of Oxycodone for breakthrough pain. The amount of oxycodone taken will be recorded. Patients can call the resident on call, available 24-hours per day, if additional pain control is needed.

Treatment: All patients will undergo previously scheduled ORIF of the clavicle in standard fashion and be randomized to the non-narcotic pain regimen vs the narcotic pain regimen.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Narcotic Postoperative Pain Control
Standard of care control group given standard opioid pain control regimen.
Drug: Narcotic pain medication
Primary intervention is pain medication received postoperatively. Control group will receive the standard of care which is opioid medications. Experimental group will receive a nonopioid pain control regimen.

Experimental: Nonnarcotic Postoperative Pain Control
Experimental group given nonopioid pain control regimen.
Drug: Nonnarcotic pain medications
Primary intervention is pain medication received postoperatively. Control group will receive the standard of care which is opioid medications. Experimental group will receive a nonopioid pain control regimen.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pain Score [ Time Frame: Pain scores will be recorded daily for the first 2 weeks, and then once a week until the 6 week post operative clinic visit. ]
    Analog pain score 0-10. A pain score of 10 represents maximum pain and a pain score of 0 represents no pain.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Patient reported function score [ Time Frame: Preoperative visit and postoperative visits up to 1 year. ]
    Patient reported function questionnaire will be administered to patients during postoperative visits.
