In February 2009 a major case of scientific misconduct was discovered. The American pain researcher Dr. S. Reuben had published 21 papers over a period of 15 years that were found to be fraudulent. Suddenly many advances in postoperative pain therapy which had been assumed to be correct seemed questionable. In this review article the lessons which can be learnt from this case are described. This review also reveals that it is almost impossible for reviewers or readers of scientific journals to detect scientific fraud. However, several warning signs can be identified that might be useful when reading clinical papers. In retrospect many of these signs were detectable in Reuben's studies. Based on the fraudulent papers of Reuben it will be shown how and to what extent falsified results can affect other types of literature, such as practice guidelines, meta-analyses, review articles and oral presentations.

“…Preoperative dosing of COX-2 inhibitors for ACL repair has been associated with a decrease in postoperative pain, opioid use, nausea and vomiting, recovery room length of stay, and unplanned admission to the hospital. 8 In addition to providing short-term analgesic benefits, the use of pre-emptive multimodal analgesia including COX-2 inhibitors resulted in a significant reduction in long-term patellofemoral complications after ACL surgery. 9 These included a reduction in the incidence of anterior knee pain, scar tissue, flexion contracture and complex regional pain syndrome.…”

“…In contrast, COX-2 inhibitors can be administered pre-emptively to surgical patients without the added risk of increased perioperative bleeding. [8][9][10][11] Bone fractures are a known risk of athletic participation and can result in significant lost playing time. A variety of drugs have been investigated in animals for their effects on fracture healing.…”
