Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of chronic opioid dependence on postoperative outcomes following primary total ankle arthroplasty (TAA).

Methods: The Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) was queried from 2016 to 2020 to identify 29,751 patients undergoing primary elective TAA with patients divided into cohorts based on the presence of preoperative opioid dependence (861 patients; 2.9 %).

Results: The overall cohort was majority male (54.2 %) with mean age of 64.15 (range 17-90) years, and Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index score of 0.65 (range 0-12). Preoperative opioid dependence was significantly predictive of increased risk of wound dehiscence (OR=5.365; p < .001), adverse discharge (OR=1.443; p < .001), extended stay greater than 4 days (OR= 1.438; p < .001), and more than a $1000 increase in the total cost of admission (β= 1052.27; p = .027).

Conclusion: Chronic preoperative opioid use was significantly predictive of higher rates of postoperative complications, LOS, and substantially higher cost of admission for TAA.

Level of evidence: Level III, Retrospective Cohort Study.

期刊介绍： Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society. The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
