Kamdar PM, Liddy N, Antonacci C, et al. - The present study was performed to evaluate opioid consumption in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy and to create an evidence-based guideline for opioid prescription. Researchers conducted a prospective multicenter observational study including patients undergoing outpatient knee arthroscopy for meniscal repair, meniscectomy, or chondroplasty. The study included a total of 100 individuals. The data demonstrated that current opioid prescribing habits exceed the need for postoperative pain management. The results indicated that all individuals consumed ≤ 5 opioid pills, and 92% of individuals discontinued opioids by the second postoperative day. Individuals reported high satisfaction rates and low NPRS pain scores and required no refills, in spite of the low prescription quantity. Thus, they recommend that individuals undergoing knee arthroscopy are prescribed no more than 5 oxycodone 5-mg pills.
