The effect of NSAIDs on postfracture bone healing: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. OTA Int 2021; 4:e092. [PMID: 34746650 PMCID: PMC8568409 DOI: 10.1097/oi9.0000000000000092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
To determine whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have an adverse effect on bone healing by evaluating all available human randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this subject. Data Sources A comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cross-References) until October 2018 comparing the occurrence of nonunion in patients who received NSAIDs to the control group through RCTs. Study Selection Inclusion criteria were English-only studies, and the type of studies was restricted to RCTs. Data Extraction Two authors independently extracted data from the selected studies, and the data collected were compared to verify agreement. Data Synthesis Nonunion was the main outcome evaluated in each study. Regression analysis was used to estimate the relative risk comparing the duration and the type of NSAIDs by calculating the odds ratio (OR) for dichotomous variables. Studies were weighed by the inverse of the variance of the outcome, and a fixed-effects model was used for all analyses. Conclusions Six RCTs (609 patients) were included. The risk of nonunion was higher in the patients who were given NSAIDs after the fracture with an OR of 3.47. However, once the studies were categorized into the duration of treatment with NSAIDs, those who received NSAIDs for a short period (<2 weeks) did not show any significant risk of nonunion compared to those who received NSAIDs for a long period (>4 weeks). Indomethacin was associated with a significant higher nonunion rate and OR ranging from 1.66 to 9.03 compared with other NSAIDs that did not show a significant nonunion risk.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid preparations, adreno-cortical steroids, with strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, are widely used for treating various diseases. The number of patients exposed to steroid therapy prior to surgery is increasing. When these patients present for surgery, the anesthesiologist must decide whether to administer perioperative steroid supplementation. Stress-dose glucocorticoid administration is required during the perioperative period because of the possibility of failure of cortisol secretion to cope with the increased cortisol requirement due to surgical stress, adrenal insufficiency, hemodynamic instability, and the possibility of adrenal crisis. Therefore, glucocorticoids should be supplemented at the same level as that of normal physiological response to surgical stress by evaluating the invasiveness of surgery and inhibition of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. Various textbooks and research articles recommend the stress-dose of glucocorticoids during perioperative periods. It has been commonly suggested that glucocorticoids should be administered in an amount equivalent to about 100 mg of cortisol for major surgery because it induces approximately 5 times the normal secretion. However, more studies, with appropriate power, regarding the administration of stress-dose glucocorticoids are still required, and evaluation of patients with possible adrenal insufficiency and appropriate glucocorticoid administration based on surgical stress will help improve the prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Substantial advances have been made in understanding the biological basis of fracture healing. Yet, it is unclear whether the presence of osteoporosis or prior or current osteoporosis therapy influences the healing process or is associated with impaired healing. This review discusses the normal process of fracture healing and the role of osteoporosis and patient-specific factors in relation to fracture repair. RECENT FINDINGS The definitive association of osteoporosis to impaired fracture healing remains inconclusive because of limited evidence addressing this point. eStudies testing anabolic agents in preclinical models of ovariectomized animals with induced fractures have produced mostly positive findings showing enhanced fracture repair. Prospective human clinical trials, although few in number and limited in design and to testing only one anabolic agent, have similarly yielded modestly favorable results. Interest is high for exploring currently available osteoporosis therapies for efficacy in fracture repair. Definitive data supporting their efficacy are essential in achieving approval for this indication.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cervical nerve root injury is one of the complications of traumatic cervical spine fracture. Although one of the most effective treatments to reduce inflammation in nerve root injuries is the use of corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids and NSAIDs can inhibit bone healing. So, when nerve injury accompanies bone fractures, corticosteroids and NSAIDs have limitations as therapeutic agents. However, polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) may be useful in the treatment of neuropathy or musculoskeletal pain patients with contraindication of the use of corticosteroids because of its anti-inflammatory effect, as revealed in previous studies. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no report of treatment of traumatic nerve root injury due to an articular process fracture with an ultrasound-guided cervical nerve root block (NRB) using PDRN. PATIENTS CONCERNS A 54-year-old female patient with motor weakness of the left upper extremity and tingling sensation in the left neck and shoulder. DIAGNOSES:: traumatic C5 nerve root injury due to a fracture of the left articular process in the C4 spine. INTERVENTION Ultrasound-guided C5 NRB using PDRN. OUTCOMES Her motor weakness and sensory symptoms of the left upper extremity were significantly improved after treatment using an ultrasound-guided C5 NRB using PDRN. LESSONS Although it is impossible to draw a conclusion from a single case report, we suggest the ultrasound-guided NRB using PDRN could be a useful treatment for alleviating motor weakness and neuropathic pain caused by traumatic spinal nerve root injury in situations where corticosteroids cannot be used.

Abstract
THE AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dexketoprofen trometamol, meloxicam, diclofenac sodium on any untreated alveolar bone when they are used as drugs for another indication. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty eight male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups as dexketoprofen trometamol (Group I), meloxicam (Group II), diclofenac sodium (Group III) and control group. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) were administered after a fibula fracture for 10 days. Untreated alveolar bone was histopathologically examined for spongious bone density, osteoclastic density and osteoblastic density. RESULTS Spongious bone density was lower in study groups (Group I, group II and group III) than the control group (p<0.05). In contrast, the increase in osteoclastic density was observed in other groups apart from the control group (p<0.05). Osteoblastic density was evaluated and it was determined that group II and group III had lower results than the control group (p<0.05) but group I was equal to the control group. CONCLUSION This study showed that systemically administrated NSAIDs have the potential to affect untreated alveolar bone. This should also be considered in long term use of NSAIDs.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dexamethasone on repair of a critical size defect of the mandible in male Sprague-Dawley rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty rats were divided into 2 groups: saline control and dexamethasone-treated groups. A 1 mm × 3 mm full-thickness bone defect was created at the inferior border of the mandible. Saline or dexamethasone was administered once a day for 5 days after postoperative palinesthesia. On days 1, 3, 6, 10 and 17, after cessation of drug administration, 5 samples from each group were analysed. The bone defect healing process was examined and analysed by stereology, radiology, histology and histochemical staining for total collagen, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining for osteoclasts and immunohistochemical staining for the COX-2, RUNX2 and osteocalcin antigens. RESULTS The dexamethasone-treated rats exhibited significantly lower radiopacity properties compared to the control rats. Histological staining revealed that the osteogenic differentiation and maturation of a callus in the defect region was significantly delayed from day 1 to day 10 in the dexamethasone group after cessation of drug administration compared to the control group. Consistent with the histological data, the level of total collagen protein was significantly lower in the dexamethasone group than in the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups at day 17. Immunohistochemical analysis of COX-2, RUNX2 and osteocalcin expression showed that, at day 1, COX-2 and RUNX2 expression in the dexamethasone group was significantly lower than in the control group. There was no significant difference in osteocalcin expression between the two groups at each time point. There was no significant difference in the number of osteoclasts between the two groups. CONCLUSION In a model of bone healing of a mandible defect, dexamethasone-treated rats exhibited impaired osteogenic differentiation and maturation due to the inhibition of COX-2, osteogenic gene, RUNX2 and collagen protein expression, which resulted in delayed bone repair. Although perioperative short-term therapy did not exhibit long-term effects on wound healing of the maxillofacial bone, the application of glucocorticoids should be cautiously considered in the clinic.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) play an essential part in our approach to control pain in the posttraumatic setting. Over the last decades, several studies suggested that NSAIDs interfere with bone healing while others contradict these findings. Although their analgesic potency is well proven, clinicians remain puzzled over the potential safety issues. We have systematically reviewed the available literature, analyzing and presenting the available in vitro animal and clinical studies on this field. Our comprehensive review reveals the great diversity of the presented data in all groups of studies. Animal and in vitro studies present so conflicting data that even studies with identical parameters have opposing results. Basic science research defining the exact mechanism with which NSAIDs could interfere with bone cells and also the conduction of well-randomized prospective clinical trials are warranted. In the absence of robust clinical or scientific evidence, clinicians should treat NSAIDs as a risk factor for bone healing impairment, and their administration should be avoided in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Nonspecific and COX-2 selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) function by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase isoenzymes and effectively reduce pain and inflammation attributed to acute or chronic musculoskeletal pathologies. However, use of NSAIDs as an analgesic is thought to negatively contribute to bone healing. This review strived to provide a thorough unbiased analysis of the current research conducted on animals and humans regarding NSAIDs and their effect on bone healing. Specifically, this review discusses the role of animal models, dosing regiments, and outcome parameters when examining discrepancies about NSAIDS and their effects on bone regeneration. The role of COX-2 in bone regeneration needs to be better defined in order to further elucidate the impact of NSAIDs on bone healing.

Abstract
Bone healing is an extremely complex process which depends on the coordinated action of several cell lineages on a cascade of biological events, and has always been a major medical concern. The use of several drugs such as corticosteroids, chemotherapeutic agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, anticoagulants and drugs which reduce osteoclastic activity have been shown to affect bone healing. This review article presents our current understanding on this topic, focusing on data illustrating the effect of these drugs on fracture healing and bone regeneration.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess bone density measurements for analysis of repairing fractures in rats using direct digital radiography under Dexamethasone effects. Thirty (30) young adult male Wistar rats were used, with an average weight of 200g, which were submitted to general anesthetics by ethyl ether. One rib of each animal was fractured by surgical technique. The rats were divided into 2 groups, named Control group - intraperitoneal administration of saline solution 1 hour prior to operation, and Group 1: intraperitoneal administration of Dexamethasone 0.1mg/Kg of weight 1 hour prior to operation, and two postoperative doses every 12 hours. The animals were sacrificed at 2, 3, 4, 7 and 14 days. The parts containing the hemi-thorax with the fractured rib were removed and submitted to direct digital radiography, where the linear density of the two extremities of the fracture were analyzed by the Digora System. The results showed that in the control group and in Group 1 there was a gradual and significant increase in linear density. The method used made it feasible to supply data that were statistically significant in assessing the gain in bone density during the period of time analyzed. In conclusion, direct digital radiograph is useful for bone density analysis for fracture repairing. The dose of Dexamethasone was not sufficient to alter the gain in bone density at the extremities of fracture.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate if diclofenac administration interferes with the time course of alveolar wound healing in rats. Forty-two Wistar rats were used, 21 rats received 10 mg/kg/day of diclofenac one day before and 4 days after extraction of the right maxillary incisors and 21 rats received saline. The animals were sacrificed 7, 14 and 21 days after tooth extraction. Progressive new bone formation and a decrease in the volume fraction of blood clot and connective tissue from 1 to 3 weeks after tooth extraction was quantified using the histometric point-counting method. Diclofenac treatment caused a significant delay in new bone formation in association with an impairment of blood clot remission/organization.

Abstract
Limiting degradation of collagen during the initial phase of wound healing is expected to improve postoperative intestinal strength and thereby decrease chances for anastomotic dehiscence. We studied the influence of four nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs on the healing of intestinal anastomoses in rats, with special regard to changes of collagen levels around the anastomoses. Four experimental groups of 20 rats each received daily oral doses of piroxicam, ibuprofen, aspirin, or indomethacin and were compared with a control group. Animals were sacrificed 3 or 7 days after operation. Both morbidity and mortality rate in the experimental groups were high. Collagen, measured as hydroxyproline, levels in anastomotic and adjoining 1-cm intestinal segments were compared with concentrations in control segments resected during operation. After an initial decrease on day 3, hydroxyproline concentrations increased on day 7. In the colon the lowering of hydroxyproline concentrations, which was more pronounced than in the ileum, was significantly reduced by administration of piroxicam and ibuprofen, both in the anastomosis and its proximal segment. On day 7, the increase of hydroxyproline concentrations in the ileum was inhibited by administration of anti-inflammatory drugs. It is concluded that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may limit postoperative degradation of collagen in colonic anastomoses, but at the same time may increase the rat's susceptibility to surgical infections.
