Surgeon Prescribing Patterns And Perioperative Risk Factors Associated With Prolonged Opioid Use After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Nearly 22% of patients experienced prolonged opioid use, with preoperative opioid exposure being the most notable risk factor in addition to postoperative prescribing patterns and benzodiazepine utilization. Surgeons play a crucial role in opioid management, and understanding the risk factors can help optimize benefits while minimizing the associated risks of prolonged opioid use. Additional research is needed to establish standardized definitions and strategies for safe opioid use in orthopaedic surgery.
