Hello,

For any surgical intervention in an orthopedic procedure infection is the most common problem. You have to follow strict asepsis and avoid any infection. If required he has to take antibiotics.

When he has started physical movement you need to give him some anti inflammatory drugs to decrease the pain and inflammation.

You can give regular ibuprofen which would be sufficient and also follow up with his orthopedician for prescriptions and best course of action.

Take care!
