Unlike Tobacco Users, Documented Cannabis Users Are Not at an Increased Risk of Adverse Events After Total Hip Arthroplasty

This study confirmed that THA patients with tobacco-only use were at greater risk of perioperative adverse events and that these were relatively similar to those with concurrent tobacco and cannabis use. However, cannabis-only users were not at greater risk, a finding that is of clinical interest given the evolving access and increasing use of this agent.

This study confirmed that THA patients with tobacco-only use were at greater risk of perioperative adverse events and that these were relatively similar to those with concurrent tobacco and cannabis use. However, cannabis-only users were not at greater risk, a finding that is of clinical interest given the evolving access and increasing use of this agent.
