Abstract
PURPOSE: To compare postoperative outcomes between opioid-naïve patients and patients with a history of preoperative opioid usage undergoing hip arthroscopy. The secondary purpose is to determine whether preoperative opioid users consumed more oral morphine milligram equivalents than opioid-naïve patients following surgery. METHODS: This is a single-center, retrospective analysis comparing outcomes and postoperative opioid usage between patients with and without a history of preoperative opioid use. Inclusion criteria included patients ≥18 years, Tönnis grade 0 or 1, imaging consistent with FAI or labral pathology, and a diagnosis of symptomatic FAI requiring hip arthroscopy. Patient outcomes were compared throughout a 2-year follow-up using the modified Harris Hip Score, Nonarthritic Hip Score, and visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS: In total, 17 patients were evaluated in each cohort. The mean age of the study cohort and control cohort were 52.0 ± 9.4 years and 51.2 ± 12.2 years, respectively. Female patients were 58.8% (n = 10) of both cohorts. Non-naïve patients had a lower preoperative Nonarthritic Hip Score (P = .05) and a greater VAS at their 6-month and 1-year (P < .001) postoperative visits. Naïve patients reported greater modified Harris Hip Scores 2 years postoperatively (P < .001). The study cohort was prescribed greater levels of oral morphine equivalents at the postoperative 1-year visit (P = .05). Opioid-naïve patients were more likely to reach minimally clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptom state of VAS at a faster rate. At the 2-year follow-up, 11.8% of opioid-naïve patients continued to take opioids compared with 58.8% from the non-naïve group for persistent hip pain (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: We determined that preoperative opioid usage in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy is associated with inferior outcomes compared with opioid-naïve patients. In addition, preoperative opioid users are likely to continue the use of opioid medications postoperatively and at greater doses than opioid-naïve patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3, retrospective comparative study.
