J Arthroplasty

Opioid and analgesic use before and after revision knee arthroplasty for the indications “pain without loosening” versus “aseptic loosening” – a Danish nationwide study.

Abstract

It is uncertain if patients undergoing revision knee arthroplasty for "pain without loosening" are relieved of pain. This study aimed to compare pre- and postoperative analgesic consumption by patients undergoing revision for "pain without loosening" versus "aseptic loosening" and to determine predictors for postoperative long-term opioid use.
