Abstract
Opioid-based analgesia is effective and widely prescribed in elective outpatient orthopaedic procedures. However, there has been simultaneous growth in both the number of opioid analgesic prescriptions and abuse of opioid medications in the United States. There is a paucity of literature examining the quantity of opioids prescribed following common orthopaedic sports procedures as well as the average number of opioid pills consumed and the amount remaining after discontinuation.
