Dr. Pavli Demian explores the potential role of marijuana and its compounds, like CBD and THC, in managing postoperative pain and recovery. The presentation outlines how these cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is involved in pain, memory, mood, and sleep. He discusses the potential anti-inflammatory effects of cannabinoids and their role in bone and wound healing. Dr. Demian also presents findings from clinical trials comparing cannabis to conventional pain management. He also addresses operative complications and risks associated with cannabis use, such as increased DVT and PE in cannabis users and a higher revision rate in total joint arthroplasty patients who use cannabis.
