Patterns of pre-operative opioid use affect the risk for complications after total joint replacement

Abstract Preoperative opioid use has been shown to increase the risk for complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA); however, these studies have not always accounted for differences in co-morbidities and socio-demographics between patients that use opioids and those that do not. They hav...
