Video Summary
In this video, a medical student from Cindy Kimmel Medical College presents research on the opioid usage following outpatient arthroscopic sports medicine procedures. The research was conducted in the sports medicine department at Rothman Institute, with Dr. Samer Hamoud supervising. The study aims to determine the number of opioid pills consumed by patients in the postoperative period and the number of leftover pills. The findings show that patients are often prescribed more opioid pills than they actually consume. The study also highlights the potential for opioid misuse and addiction with the large number of leftover pills. The speaker urges the orthopedic community to limit opioid prescriptions while ensuring effective pain management. Credits are given to the Arthroscopy Association of North America for allowing the presentation and to the co-investigators involved in the project.
