Given the evolving regulations regarding and availability of cannabis in the United States, physicians should understand the risks and benefits associated with its use. Patients are interested in learning about the use of cannabis for the management of orthopedic pain and any potential risks associated with it when undergoing elective surgery. Edible and topical cannabis products appear to have fewer side effects than inhaled cannabis products. A review of the literature was performed regarding different modes of administration and their related risks and potential benefits specifically regarding perioperative concerns for elective orthopedic procedures. Larger studies are necessary to further determine the efficacy, safety, and side effect profile of cannabis. [. 2021;44(3):e314-e319.].
鉴于美国对大麻的监管规定和供应情况不断变化，医生应该了解其使用相关的风险和益处。患者有兴趣了解大麻在管理骨科疼痛方面的使用，以及在接受择期手术时与之相关的任何潜在风险。与吸入大麻产品相比，可食用和局部使用的大麻产品似乎副作用更少。对不同给药方式及其相关风险和潜在益处进行了文献复习，特别是针对择期骨科手术的围手术期问题。需要进行更大规模的研究，以进一步确定大麻的疗效、安全性和副作用特征。[2021;44(3):e314-e319.]。
