Cannabidiol Perceptions and Use in the Orthopaedic Patient Population

Abstract Background: Although explored in other medical fields, cannabidiol (CBD) use for pain management remains understudied in orthopaedics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of CBD use and perceptions among an orthopaedic population. We hypothesized that most patients would be aware of CBD, that the prevalence of CBD use would at least be comparable with the general population (∼15%), and that the overall perception of CBD use for pain relief would be favorable.
