American Podiatric Surgeons' Postoperative Multimodal Analgesic-Prescribing Practice: A 2019-2020 National Survey

CONCLUSIONS: Podiatric surgeons with fewer years in practice had increased odds of supplementing with an anticonvulsant. Approximately one-third of podiatric surgeons reported using some form of a nonopioid analgesic and an opioid in every scenario. The use of multimodal analgesics was associated with a reduction in the number of opioid dosage units prescribed at the time of surgery and may be a reasonable adjunct to current protocols.PMID:37717233 | DOI:10.7547/21-145
