Patient variables were extracted: age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Ninety-day postoperative opioid prescriptions (by total morphine milligram equivalents [MMEs]) were assessed with multivariate linear regression. Ninety-day postoperative opioid prescriptions from 2011 to 2021 were assessed.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Of 27,079 patients with postoperative opioid prescriptions identified, a mean ± standard deviation of 347.6 ± 729.2 MMEs (40 tablets of 5 mg oxycodone) were prescribed per patient, with a mean of 1.6 prescriptions filled per patient within 90 days following surgery. Seventy-five percent of patients filled fewer than 600 MMEs, but a small subset filled more than 2,000 MMEs. Multivariate analysis revealed that, compared to patients in the age 30- to 39-year group, those aged 20 to 29 years received fewer MMEs (Δ = –72.5, <em>P</em> < .017). Compared to those with an Elixhauser Comorbidity Index of 2 or under, those >2 were prescribed more MMEs (Δ = 52.5, <em>P</em> < .017). Sex did not correlate with the postoperative MMEs prescribed. From 2011 to 2021, a 58.2% decrease in the 90-day mean MMEs prescribed was noted per patient (<em>P</em> < .017).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Fewer postoperative MMEs were filled following FAIS hip arthroscopy for patients in their 20s relative to those in their 30s, as well as for those with lower comorbidity burden. Patient sex was not associated with differences in postoperative MMEs prescribed. The amount of mean MMEs prescribed per patient decreased from 2011 to 2021.</div></div><div><h3>Clinical Relevance</h3><div>This study provides information about the typical amount of narcotics required after surgery. This is increasingly useful information, as surgeons/clinicians continue to try to minimize the role of narcotics in postoperative recovery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34631,"journal":{"name":"Arthroscopy Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation","volume":"7 2","pages":"Article 101078"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143845136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All patients with self-reported meniscus tears were included, with no exclusion criteria to ensure a diverse representation of underrepresented individuals.
