Search terms included \u201canterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,\u201d \u201copiate alkaloids,\u201d \u201chydrocodone,\u201d \u201coxycodone,\u201d and \u201cnarcotics.\u201d In total, 752 unique studies were identified. Studies were included if they quantified postoperative oral opioid consumption for \u22654 postoperative days. Exclusion criteria included pediatric studies, abstracts or conference papers, reviews, unpublished randomized controlled trials, case reports, and papers not in the English language. For each included study, the following data were extracted: number of pills in initial prescription, type of pill prescribed, and size of any additional prescriptions given after initial prescription. We also recorded the intervention or context for which prescription size was being investigated. The methodological index for non-randomized studies criteria were used to evaluate the quality of all included studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 20 articles were included in the study. For all studies, regardless of postoperative period length, oral opioid consumption ranged from 2.3 \u00b1 2.9 tablets of 5-mg oxycodone (17.3 MMEs) to 32.2 \u00b1 15.9 tablets of 5-mg oxycodone (242 MMEs). Specifically, for studies reporting on oral opioid consumption within the first 7 postoperative days, consumption ranged from 3.0 tablets of 5-mg oxycodone to 32.2 tablets of 5-mg oxycodone. No study reported consumption &gt;35 tablets. Effective ways to decrease postoperative opioid consumption included preoperative adductor canal blocks, intraoperative bupivacaine local anesthetic injection, and postoperative multimodal analgesic regimens.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our review demonstrated that several pre- and postoperative interventions, including preoperative regional nerve blocks, use of infiltrative local anesthetics like bupivacaine or a similar agent, as well as multimodal analgesic regimens, can decrease perioperative pain and therefore decrease postoperative oral opioid consumption. Due to the heterogeneity of the available literature, no conclusions can be made as to what single nonopioid analgesic, or combination thereof, is optimal. However, this systematic review sets the foundation for future studies investigating opioid consumption in settings of nonopioid analgesic medications such as ketorolac and multimodal analgesic regimens.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259671251353751","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,14]],"date-time":"2025-07-14T15:46:47Z","timestamp":1752508007000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Opioid Consumption Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4966-5270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martina E.","family":"Hale","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael S.","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Collin J.","family":"Laporte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theresa","family":"Kline","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0185-6922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kurt P.","family":"Spindler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Scarcella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(98)70057-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(98)70030-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asmr.2020.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2325967120930296"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2022.11.024"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659702500207"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11420-018-09665-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1082-3174(96)80076-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","unstructured":"CDC.
