The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of opiate medication in the preoperative and postoperative patient undergoing primary total joint arthroplasty.
Methods: From October 2010 to November 2011, data on 367 consecutive patients who underwent primary total joint arthroplasty were reviewed.
