Around 6400 shoulder surgeries are performed yearly in Finland. The procedure is mainly
day-case surgery and the patients go home in the afternoon. Shoulder surgery is one of the
most common procedures performed in private surgical practices. Because of the complex nature
of the joint, the recovery may be complicated by severe opstoperative pain, which is relieved
with strong opioids. Recently this has been addressed in the literature, as prescribed
opioids too often lead to substance abuse. Pain in the acute phase after surgery is one of
the common risk factors for persistent postoperative pain, which is a major burden for both
the individual patient and the society.
In this prospective, observational cohort study we aim to describe current standards of
practice in planning and taking care of anaeshtesia and prescribing opioids and adjuvants for
postoperative pain relief at home.
