Esteemed Members, I'd like to initiate a discussion on the ethical dilemmas we often face in resource-limited settings in Yemen when prioritizing elective orthopedic surgeries. How do we balance patient need, urgency, availability of resources, and social equity? What frameworks or principles guide your decision-making when difficult choices must be made? Your practical insights are invaluable for our community.

Excellent topic, Dr. Rahmah! For post-op pain, we've had great success with a multimodal approach combining regional blocks (femoral nerve block for knee, interscalene for shoulder) with scheduled NSAIDs and paracetamol, reserving opioids for breakthrough pain. This significantly reduces opioid consumption in our Yemeni patients.
