mefenamic acid has been researched along with Radius Fractures in 1 studies

Mefenamic Acid: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It is an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase.
mefenamic acid : An aminobenzoic acid that is anthranilic acid in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a 2,3-dimethylphenyl group. Although classed as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, its anti-inflammatory properties are considered to be minor. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, including headaches, dental pain, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

"A single-blind study was carried out in 52 patients with severe pain after Colles' fracture to assess the analgesic efficacy and tolerability of 500 mg diflunisal twice daily compared with that of 500 mg mefenamic acid given 3-times daily over a period of 5 days."9.05Single-blind study of diflunisal versus mefenamic acid in the treatment of pain after Colles' fracture.
