Preoperative chronic opiate use associated with a worse joint-specific function and quality of life before and after total hip and knee arthroplasty
Preoperative opiate use was associated with clinically significantly worse pre- and postoperative joint-specific function and QoL. Those undergoing THA had a clinically worse improvement in their joint-specific function, but this was not observed in those undergoing TKA. However, patients were equally satisfied with outcomes.
