Abstract
Our study examined the effect of developing a reliable protocol for prescribing opioids for postoperative pain following ACS surgery. Our goal was to progress toward completion of an effective, research-based, and consistent opioid prescription protocol. This protocol proved to effectively reduce total MME administration. Long-term, we hope this study may assist in the development of opioid prescribing protocols for other orthopaedic procedures at UC Davis Medical Center.
