Key result
Individualized, evidence-informed perioperative pain management recommendations are detailed to address acute pain and prevent negative sequelae in orthopaedic patients.
Why the study?
Orthopaedic surgery often results in pain with less than half of patients reporting adequate relief, increasing the risk of adverse clinical sequelae.
Individualized, evidence-informed acute perioperative pain management is essential to improve healthcare delivery and prevent negative sequelae in orthopaedic patients.

Individualized pain strategies in orthopaedic surgery remain hypothesis-generating; leaves open optimal approaches to reduce chronic pain risk.
Orthopaedic surgery often results in pain, with less than half of patients reporting adequate relief. Unrelieved acute pain occurring after surgery increases the risk of negative sequelae, including delayed healing, increased morbidity, pulmonary complications, limited rehabilitation participation, anxiety, depression, increased length of stay, prolonged duration of opioid use, and the development of chronic pain. Interventions that are individualized, evidence-informed, and applied within an ethical framework improve healthcare delivery for patients, clinicians, and healthcare organizations. Recommendations for using the principles of effective pain management from preoperative assessment through discharge are detailed, including recommendations for addressing barriers and challenges in applying these principles into clinical practice.
