Brief Summary: This is a randomized control trial to investigate the effectiveness of a multimodal opiate sparing analgesic regimen in controlling post-operative pain and potentially reduce post-operative opioid consumption in patients undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction ACL-R
Detailed Description: There is increased attention on opioid prescription patterns and post-operative narcotic consumption in light of the ongoing opioid crisis in the United States Patients with opioid use disorders often have their first exposure to opioids following a medical or surgical procedure Shah et al 2019 Approximately 6 of patients who were opioid native preoperatively and received opioids postoperatively became long term users As orthopedic surgeons account for approximately 8 of all dispensed opioid prescriptions Volkow et al 2011 surgeons have investigated the effectiveness of multimodal analgesic regimens in controlling post-operative pain and reducing the amount of opioid consumption Recent studies have shown that an opiate sparing regimen consisted of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can control post-operative pain adequately while reducing opioid consumption in patients who underwent arthroscopic knee or shoulder surgeries Gazendam et al 2022 Jones et al 2022 Currently there is no clear consensus on pain management regimen after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
The purpose of this study is to 1 investigate the difference in pain score and opioid consumption among patients who receive the opioid-based protocol and those who receive opioid-sparing protocol 2 minimize and potentially eliminate the utilization of narcotics following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction ACL-R surgery
