Abstract (summary)

The incidence of persistent postsurgical opioid use (PPOU) after complex foot and ankle surgery is unknown. We aimed to determine the incidence and characteristics of PPOU in opioid-naı¨ve, occasional, and regular opioid users at baseline and at six weeks, three months, and six months postoperatively.
