BACKGROUND: In response to physician and patient concerns, many institutions have adopted protocols aimed at reducing postoperative opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Thus, this study sought to examine how consumption of opioids has changed following TKA in the past 6 years.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of all 10,072 patients who received primary TKA at our institution from January 2016 to April 2021. We collected baseline demographic data including patient age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) classification, as well as dosage and type of opioid medication prescribed on each postoperative day while the patient was hospitalized following TKA. This data was converted to milligram morphine equivalents (MME) per day hospitalized to compare rates of opioid use over time.
RESULTS: Our analysis found the greatest daily opioid use was in 2016 (43.2 ± 68.6 MME/day) and the least was in 2021 (15.0 ± 29.2 MME/day). Linear regression analyses found a significant linear downward trend in postoperative opioid consumption over time, with a decrease of 5.55 MME per day per year (Adjusted R-squared: 0.982, P < .001). The highest visual analog scale (VAS) score was 4.45 in 2016 and the lowest was 3.79 in 2021 (P < .001).
CONCLUSION: Opioid reducing protocols have been implemented for patients recovering from primary TKA in an effort to decrease reliance on opioids for postoperative pain control. The results of this study demonstrate that such protocols have been successful in reducing overall opioid use during hospitalization following TKA.
LEVEL III EVIDENCE: Retrospective Cohort.
