AB  - While historically, opioids have been used broadly to manage severe acute postoperative pain, recent studies have shown that patients are frequently prescribed opioids either unnecessarily or more than their requirements for surgical pain control. Tailoring opioid prescriptions to inpatient use after orthopedic procedures may effectively control pain while limiting overprescription but may not be common in the current orthopedic practice. The main goal of this quality improvement project was to determine if there is any association between a postoperative patient?s predischarge day opioid use and the quantity of opioids prescribed for post discharge use.
