Join us for an engaging journal club discussion on the intersection of cannabinoid use and total joint replacement, focusing on the latest research on pain management and postoperative complications after arthroplasty. As cannabis use becomes more prevalent, particularly for pain relief, new studies suggest it may impact surgical outcomes, including risks of revision surgery, infection, and cardiovascular events.
