title: [Diclofenac for treatment of postoperative pain after hip arthroplasty in older patients].
abstract: Efficacy of diclofenac in pain relief after hip alloplasty was investigated in 35 patients aged 61-73 (mean 66). We compared "diclofenac group" to similar group of patients treated with i.m. morphine Complications and side effects of both therapies have been analyzed. Diclofenac therapy decreased opioids demand thus reduced its side effects. Patient's comfort has been improved also at non-operated sites.
