Authors
Abstract
Patients who have limb amputation are at risk of chronic pain, including phantom limb pain, that can be challenging to treat. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of preoperative opioid usage and the incidence and risk factors for new persistent postoperative opioid usage in opioid-naïve patients after limb amputation.
