A single-blind trial of diflunisal (Dolobid) against osyphenbutazone (Tanderil) was performed in a randomised series of 50 patients undergoing various orthopaedic operations. The patients were screened for the known contra-indications to both drugs. All those admitted to the trial had considerable pain on the first post-operative morning. Diflunisal was found significantly more efficacious in the relief of orthopaedic post-operative pain. No significant side-effects were recorded for either drug.
