Abstract
The ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States is a pressing public health issue, with prescription opioids being a contributing factor, particularly among orthopedic surgeons identified as high-volume prescribers. Taking responsibility for opioid stewardship, especially among foot and ankle surgeons, can bring about positive changes in combating the epidemic. It is crucial to implement appropriate opioid dosing and postoperative multimodal analgesic strategies, including locoregional analgesia techniques, for effective pain management following foot and ankle surgery. The guidelines offer comprehensive, evidence-based, and user-friendly recommendations for analgesic regimens and opioid dosages for standard foot and ankle surgical procedures.
