There was a study titled "A prospective evaluation of opioid utilization after upper extremity surgical procedures: Identifying consumption patterns and determining prescribing guidelines" by Dr. Matzon and team from Thomas Jefferson University that came up with a simple set of opioid guidelines post-surgically. These guidelines are helping to guide surgeon's prescribing patterns and ideally limit the number of prescribed pain medicines. We plan to identify typical narcotic analgesic usage post sports orthopaedic surgery. We hope to identify the number of narcotic pain pills to prescribe to patients undergoing orthopaedic sports surgery in the future.
1, Consent patients undergoing sports orthopaedic surgery in clinic or in pre-operative holding area and also administer first questionnaire, opioid risk tool, and pain catastrophizing scale(research) 2. Sports orthopaedic surgery (standard of care) 3. Post-op pain control regimen (standard of care) 4. Call or email patient with questionnaire every day for a week followed by weekly for 7 more weeks. The children's questionnaire will be child specific and the parent will assist the child. Will also use a picture of Wong-Baker Faces to help children identify where their pain scale is which will be given to the patient the same day that the consent is obtained to use at home(research). Questionnaire should take less than 5 minutes and will include questions about how well their pain is controlled, how many analgesic medications they have taken, and if they have tried anything else for pain. (Research) 5. Patient will continue to go to post-operative appointments as scheduled. (standard of care) 6. Will store the data from the phone calls on the secured T drive. (Research)
Have undergone an orthopaedic sports surgery
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Patients that have undergone orthopaedic sports surgeries that Dr. Kaar and Dr. Kim performed with some of the examples being:
Acromioplasty Rotator cuff repair Labral repair Proximal humerus repair versus arthroplasty Elbow instability repair Elbow arthroplasty Hip arthroscopy Hip cam lesion repair Knee arthroscopy Knee ligament repair Knee meniscus repair Achilles tendon repair Cartilage preserving procedures
Exclusion Criteria:

Patients that recently underwent orthopaedic sports surgery performed by two separate surgeons
Other: Questionnaire
Will ask patients questions in regards to how many narcotics they have taken and what their pain level has been.
Number of narcotic analgesics consumed
Quantify narcotic analgesics
Time frame: 2 months
Plan to share: No — Not planning on sharing participant data in order to protect patient's confidentiality.
Ran from Nov 2017 to primary completion in Nov 2018, 11 months.
Of 391 non-industry observational studies under Pain, Postoperative, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32. This study's 11 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 395 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 33.
