Implication

Retrospective review of opioid use and pain among ASD surgical patients, highlighting key factors influencing outcomes.

Key Points

  • Patients undergoing adult spinal deformity surgery often experience significant postoperative pain, leading to opioid dependency.
  • Of 264 patients, 88% required opioids post-surgery, with 22.4% still using opioids after 12 months.
  • Preoperative opioid use was identified as the strongest predictor of 12-month opioid dependence, impacting recovery outcomes.
  • Specific surgical techniques like intradiscal osteotomy offered protective effects by reducing pain and opioid duration significantly.
