Opioid Consumption After Orthopaedic Surgery
Opioid Consumption After Orthopaedic Surgery: Prospective Randomized Trial on the Effects of Pre-Operative Counseling

Detailed Description
Over the past two decades in the United States, the opioid epidemic has escalated at a startling rate and prescription opioids are a large contributor to this problem. Studies show that there is an excessive amount of opioids being prescribed for orthopedic procedures. An accurate understanding of opioid consumption following common outpatient orthopedic surgery is imperative in order to treat pain appropriately relative to the surgery being performed without leading to excess narcotic prescribing.
The purpose of the study is threefold: to better understand typical opioid consumption following common outpatient orthopedic surgeries, to generate prescribing guidelines to optimize opioid prescribing, and to understand the effect of pre-operative opioid counseling on opioid consumption following these procedures.
This is a prospective randomized controlled study that will involve eight fellowship-trained board certified orthopaedic surgeons in four different subspecialties (hand surgery, sports surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery, and foot and ankle surgery). Consenting patients will be randomized to the treatment group (receiving preoperative counseling) or to the control group (no preoperative counseling). The control limb will provide us with information regarding average opioid consumption following common outpatient orthopedic procedures, and the study limb will allow us to evaluate the effect of the pre-operative counseling.
Basic demographic and surgical data will be collected. Primary outcomes will be assessed at the post-operative visit. These include the total number of opioid pills consumed, average daily pain scores, and adverse effects. Secondary outcomes include the number of days the medication was used, medication refill requests, and patient satisfaction.
