In this study, we aimed to compare the preemptive efficacy of tramadol\/acetaminophen fixed-dose combination, tramadol, and acetaminophen in patients undergoing ambulatory arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.\nMethods\nWe evaluated the patient records of 75 patients who underwent ambulatory arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. We divided the patients into three groups consisting of 20 patients each to equalize the groups. Group A comprised patients who were administered 37.5 mg tramadol\/325 mg acetaminophen fixed-dose combination, Group B comprised patients who were administered 50 mg tramadol, and Group C comprised patients who were administered 500 mg acetaminophen. Premedication was not used in any group.\nResults\nThere were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, sex, BMI, and duration of surgery and anesthesia. All patients in Group B and Group C and 17 patients in Group A required rescue analgesics in the first 6 h. Visual analog scale (VAS) was 4.75 \u00b1 3.05 in Group B at time 0 and was 6.10 \u00b1 1.86 in Group C in the first hour and was higher than the other groups with a statistically significance (p = 0.030 and 0.020, respectively). VAS at 24 h postoperatively was ?3 (1.60 \u00b1 1.63, 1.55 \u00b1 1.84 and 1.70 \u00b1 0.65 respectively in each group), and none of the patients in any group required rescue analgesics. No major side effects, except for slight nausea in one patient requiring no medication, were noted in any group.\nConclusion\nThe fixed-dose combination of tramadol\/acetaminophen or tramadol alone is better than acetaminophen alone as a preemptive analgesic in patients undergoing ambulatory arthroscopic meniscectomy.\nLevel of evidence\nLevel III, therapeutic study.\nER
