Question from POPS member Amanda McCullough

Dallas, TX
The Pediatric Orthopaedic Practitioners Society POPS

POPS Member Amanda McCullogh would like your thoughts on the following question:

What is everyone using for post-operative pain and spasm control, specifically in your VDRO population? We have one surgeon who likes to use valium, and one that likes to use robaxin. We are having a hard time finding literature/research on using robaxin in young kids. I wanted to see what other facilities were doing. We usually use a combo of a narcotic, Tylenol (if using oxy), possibly NSAID and then either valium or robaxin. I appreciate the feedback-thanks! (Amanda, Jackson MS)
