Opioid Reduction in Orthopaedic Surgery (OREOS) - Knees

Welcome to the OREOS website. We are conducting a randomized study that will assign patients to receive standard care or a novel pain management pathway that aims to minimize opioids used before, during, and after surgery. The goal of this study is to determine whether this pathway can improve patients’ satisfaction with pain management while improving safety and minimizing opioids.

  • This study will have an intervention coordinator who will assess patients before surgery and who will follow up with patients regularly after surgery to make sure their pain is controlled and to avoid long-term opioid use.
  • This study will use education, physiotherapy, psychological therapy, ice/cold, and non-opioid pain medications.
  • As pain medications may work differently in different patients, the coordinator will check on each patient to look for pain control and assist to reduce the amount of opioids used after surgery.
  • This study will help people have safer and more effective pain management after surgery which may lead to better recovery, higher satisfaction, and a lower risk of being harmed by opioids after surgery.
