ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to understand if including a patient opioid education document would decrease opioid consumption following TKA. Patients were balanced between the control and intervention group based on age, sex, and date of surgery. At 5 weeks following surgery, there were significantly fewer patients driving in the education cohort as compared to the control cohort. There was not a significant difference in mean 2-week post-operative VAS pain score, mean 5 weeks post-operative VAS pain score, mean number of dispensed pills. Reducing post-operative narcotic usage likely requires a more comprehensive strategy.
