Opioid-Free Orthopaedic Surgery (CORE)
Carolina's Opioid Reduction Effort
To compare the safety and effectiveness of two pain control pathways following routine orthopaedic surgical procedures (single level or two-level ACDF/ACDA, 1st CMC arthroplasty, Hallux Valgus/Rigidus corrections, diagnostic knee arthroscopies, total hip arthroplasty, and total shoulder arthroplasty / reverse total shoulder arthroplasty). The control group will undergo surgery with an opioid-based pain protocol and the intervention group will undergo surgery with a multimodal, opioid-free protocol.
Patients will have data collected with respect to pain scores, overall comfort level, overall satisfaction with the surgical experience and recovery, constipation, falls, and overall satisfaction with pain control, in addition to procedure-specific outcome scores and patient-specific metrics.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Opioid
The opioid-based arm utilizes traditional, standard-of-care treatment for each applicable surgery.
The medications (including dosage and frequency) used in this arm vary depending on the surgery being performed; however, tend to include medications in the opioid family such as Hydromorphone, Hydrocodone, Tramadol, or Oxycodone.
|
narcotic pain medicine
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Opioid-Free
The opioid-free arm utilizes medications that do not belong to the opioid family of medications.
All medications used are FDA-approved and no experimental medications are being used.
The medications (including dosage and frequency) used in this arm vary depending on the surgery being performed; however, tend to include medications such as Gabapentin, Tylenol, Meloxicam, Bupivacaine, or Ketorolac.
