The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, The American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons (AAOS), The Hip Society, The Knee Society, and The American Society of Regional
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine worked together to develop evidence-based guidelines
on the use of opioids in primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The purpose of these
guidelines is to improve the treatment of orthopedic surgical patients and reduce
practice variation by promoting a multidisciplinary evidence-based approach on the
use of opioids following primary TJA.
