Summary
The aim of this study is to determine if a standardized evidence-based opioid prescription
following elective hand and forearm surgery at Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) will decrease
the number of unused opioid pills consumed by patients while still maintaining adequate pain
control as compared to usual treatment. Currently, no standardized prescription exists at our
institution.
