Role of Orthopaedic Surgeons?

Orthopedic Surgeons are the 3rd Highest
Prescribers of Opioids
(7.7% of all Rx)
PCPs – 28.8%; Internists – 14.6%

Orthopedic Surgery & Opioids
• Literature on Worse Clinical Outcomes in:
• Trauma
• Low Back Pain
• Occupational MSK Disorders
• TKA
• Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
• Spine Surgery

Pain Clinics
• Rapid Rise in Number
• 732 in FL

• 4 Pain Clinics for every 100,000 People
• Outnumber McDonald’s

• Some Pain Clinics provide Important Services for
Patient Care and Pain Management
• However, “Pill Mills” Prescribe and Dispense

Medical Practice

PDMPs

• Programs with Positive Early Results

Conclusions
• The US is in an Opioid Epidemic
•

Detrimental Effects on Individuals and Society

• Our Patients are At-Risk
•

Orthopaedic Surgeons should:

•
•
•
•

Recognize Risk Factors
Set Patient Expectations and Prescribe Responsibly
Take Control of MSK Pain Management
Educate Other Providers

Purpose
•

Hip fractures are a common problem in the
geriatric population, having substantial impact
on the healthcare system
•

•

$30 billion annual cost 1-2

Often result in functional decline and greater
mortality 2-9

Purpose - con’t
•

Post-operative pain control remains difficult in
the elderly population
•

Opioid- and NSAID-associated complications
more common 2,10-22

•

Intravenous acetaminophen has been shown in
prior studies to be safe and efficacious in major
orthopaedic surgery 20,22-29

What is IV Tylenol

•

OFIRMEV® (acetaminophen) injection

Hypothesis
• The use of scheduled IV acetaminophen as part of
a perioperative pain-control protocol for patients 65
or older with hip fractures will reduce problems
associated with inadequate pain control, while
simultaneously
decreasing
complications
associated with opioid analgesic use and reducing
length of hospital stay.

 Intravenous acetaminophen usage both correlated
with and was independently predictive of:
• shorter mean length of hospital stay
• lower mean narcotic usage
• lower mean pain score
• lower percentage of physical therapy sessions
missed
• higher likelihood of discharge to home

Conclusion
• The utilization of scheduled IV acetaminophen as
part of a standardized pain-management protocol
for geriatric hip fractures resulted in a shortened
length of hospital stay, decreased pain score and
narcotic use, fewer missed physical therapy
sessions, and higher rate of discharge to home.

Future Directions?
•

Cost-analysis
• OFIRMEV® ~$40 per 1000 mg dose

•

Prospective, randomized trials
• Verified outcome measures

Evidence Based Review


The balance of evidence
… appears to suggest
that a short-duration
NSAID regimen is a safe
and effective supplement
to other modes of postfracture pain control,
without a significantly
increased risk of sequelae
related to disrupted
healing

Non-selective NSAIDs


Less effect on bone healing


Selective still helpful with side-effects of NSAIDs

Short acting alone
Short and long acting

Multi-modal
Short course, shortacting opioids

on opioids reported
decreased pain relief,
functional capacity, and
quality of life vs persons
in chronic pain not on
opioids, adjusting for
severity



• Goals:
1) To identify patients at high risk for misuse, abuse, and diversion of
prescription opioids and benzodiazepines.
2) To provide critical information to the prescriber at the point of care
in order to inform clinical decision-making

Intervention: Alert System
• Prescriber selects controlled
substance
• EMR searches patient chart for
defined risk factors for
abuse/misuse/diversion
• Provides prescriber with alert
• Prescriber can continue or
discontinue script.
