Objective To provide references for postoperative analgesia treatment for cirrhotic patients with bone fracture. Methods One elderly patient with liver cirrhosis and fracture was admitted to our hospital on July 9, 2013. We obtained medical evidences by searching databases and regulated the best treatment after evaluating the patient's comprehensive conditions. And then, the whole treatment strategy was fully implemented. Finally, the consequent results were evaluated. Results We identified 22 relevant articles including one clinical guideline, three cochrane reviews, five systematic reviews, seven small sample randomized controlled trials, one high quality observational study, and five quantitative reviews. We found that opioid analgesics utilization combined with non-opioid analgesics could not only reduce the occurrence of opioid drug adverse reactions, but increase analgesia safety. Cox-2 inhibitors could be used as the first choice of non-opioid drugs due to the less adverse reaction and better analgesic effectiveness. Conclusion For femur fracture patients with liver cirrhosis, treatment decision based on evidence-based medicine is more scientific, which can ensure maximum benefit for the patients.
