Receipt of pain management information preoperatively is associated with improved functional gain after elective total joint arthroplasty.
This study evaluated patient-reported receipt of preoperative pain management information in a national prospective cohort evaluating postoperative pain and function following elective TJA. It found that patients who received pain information reported less pain 2 weeks postoperatively, greater use of non-narcotic pain care strategies, and better physical function scores at 6 months postoperatively.
