Abstract
Purpose: Opioids are still frequently used in the pain management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), despite increasing evidence of limited effectiveness, increased morbidity and mortality, as well as risk of addiction. Our aim was to describe and compare trends in the frequency of opioid use in patients with knee OA in England and Sweden in the 10 years prior to total knee replacement (TKR).
