Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tramadol and oxycodone therapy in comparison to oxycodone alone as part of a multimodal pain regimen to reduce postoperative opioid consumption, pain, minimize adverse events and complications for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Oxycodone Only

Patient's will be prescribed only Oxycodone for post operative pain management.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Oxycodone

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive oral Oxycodone only to treat post-operative pain:

Oxycodone 5mg

* Patients ≤75 years old: 5mg or 10 mg PO every 4 hr as needed

* 5 mg for pain rated 4-6
* 10 mg for pain rated 7-10
* Patients \>75 years old and/or sensitive to opioids or sedatives: 2.5mg or 5mg every 4hr as needed

* 2.5mg for pain rated 4-6

Multimodal Pain Control

Patients will be prescribed Tramadol and Oxycodone for post operative opioid pain relief.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Tramadol and Oxycodone

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive a combination of Tramadol and Oxycodone to take orally to treat post-operative pain:

Tramadol 50mg

* Patients ≤75 years old: 50 mg for pain rated 4-6; 100 mg for pain rated 7-10
* Patients \>75 years old and/or sensitive to opioids or sedatives; use 50 mg
* Dosing is every 8 hours as needed. Cumulative dose not to exceed 400mg in 24 hours

Oxycodone 5mg
