Summary

This trial seeks to reduce opioid usage in orthopaedic surgery patients by testing a new pain management protocol.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18+ who need orthopaedic surgery at UCSD and can consent to participate are eligible. Excluded are those with multiple injuries, severe diseases not managed medically, pregnant women or those planning pregnancy within a year, prisoners, recent substance abusers, and anyone in another drug study recently.
What is being tested?
The trial compares two pain management methods after orthopaedic surgery: a multimodal approach using Ibuprofen/Acetaminophen/GABAPentin/0.25%Bupivacaine versus standard oral hydrocodone-acetaminophen. It's randomized and will assess opioid use, pain control, and function.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include stomach issues from Ibuprofen/Acetaminophen; dizziness or fatigue from GABAPentin; local numbness from Bupivacaine; and constipation or drowsiness from hydrocodone-acetaminophen.
