- Detailed Description
The investigators aim to better understand opioid use in patients undergoing elective shoulder surgery. As part of a multi-part investigation, The investigators intend to prospectively determine actual postoperative opioid use, while evaluating whether implementation of an educational session with pain contract would help minimize opioid use. Through use of a teaching session and pain contract, it is hypothesized opioid use would decrease. The investigators hypothesize the use of a pain contract and thorough discussion regarding proper opioid use and side-effects, will decrease the amount of postoperative opioid use.
