Abstract
Patients with MDD undergoing total joint arthroplasty consume more opioids compared to their matched cohort during the immediate postoperative period. Identifying patient-specific factors, such as MDD, could help arthroplasty surgeons modulate patients' course of recovery. These findings warrant more cooperation between arthroplasty surgeons and primary care providers to optimize outcome.
