Opioid Consumption After Orthopaedic Surgery

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Orthopedic Disorder

In brief

This is a randomized controlled study that will involve fellowship-trained board certified orthopaedic surgeons in four different subspecialties (hand surgery, sports surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery, and foot and ankle surgery) within our practice group. 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 opioid counseling.
