The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare opioid consumption among patients who receive a binary pain scale compared to those who receive a standard 10-point pain scale after undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18+ * Undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery at Stanford Sports Medicine Redwood City, with autograft or allograft, with or without concomitant meniscal repair. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women * Surgical history of the operated knee * Known allergy to opioid medications * Received extra-routine pain care (as compared with the average ACL patients at the Sports Medicine division) given by the anesthesiologists, such as the postoperative epidural analgesia or the ultra-sound guided femoral nerve block.
