Natural History of Opioid Use in Naive and Tolerant Patients in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates opioid use in patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) to better understand preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative patterns of use.
- It categorizes patients into two groups: opioid-naïve and opioid-tolerant, comparing their morphine milligram equivalents (MME) usage before and after surgery.
- Results show that opioid-tolerant patients required significantly higher MME postoperatively and were more likely to have ongoing prescriptions at 6, 12, and 24 months, indicating longer recovery needs compared to opioid-naïve patients.
