Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Opioid use

    Total opioid use

    6 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of refills

    6 months after surgery

Study Arms (2)

education

EXPERIMENTAL

The teaching arm would consist of a standardized dialogue the surgeon will complete with the patient in order to familiarize the patient with the risks of over-prescribing opioid medication and set patient expectations regarding the clinic's opioid prescribing pattern protocol, in an effort to minimize the number of opioid pills prescribed or refills required, the amount actually used, and the untoward side effects of opioid use (e.g. respiratory depression, nausea, sedation, restriction from driving, and access to and use by those the medication was not intended).

Behavioral: opioid education

no education

NO INTERVENTION

Standard preoperative care without dedicated teaching regarding opioid use and risks
