Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study is to analyze the different characteristics of gabapentinoids prescription by Lebanese orthopedics surgeons. Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional study using a survey which was carried out in collaboration with the Lebanese Orthopedic Society over a 3-month period. Results: Forty-two orthopedic surgeons responded, most of them prescribing gabapentinoids in their daily practice with only half of the patients feeling relief after taking them. Furthermore, most of the surgeons prescribed these drugs for patients above 18 years old and for both acute and chronic pain. Conclusion: Even though almost half of the patients do not experience relief after taking gabapentinoids, these drugs are becoming more and more prescribed.
