NCT ID: NCT03422211 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

A Prospective Assessment of Opioid Utilization Post-operatively in Sports Orthopaedic Surgeries

Opioids
Start date: November 16, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

There was a study titled "A prospective evaluation of opioid utilization after upper extremity surgical procedures: Identifying consumption patterns and determining prescribing guidelines" by Dr. Matzon and team from Thomas Jefferson University that came up with a simple set of opioid guidelines post-surgically. These guidelines are helping to guide surgeon's prescribing patterns and ideally limit the number of prescribed pain medicines. We plan to identify typical narcotic analgesic usage post sports orthopaedic surgery. We hope to identify the number of narcotic pain pills to prescribe to patients undergoing orthopaedic sports surgery in the future.
