Abstract:
A recent study stated that 11% of all elective orthopaedic procedures performed at a Regional Orthopaedic Unit involved removal of orthopaedic implants. Indications for certain orthopaedic implant removal remain unclear. As budgets are squeezed even tighter throughout all branches of the Royal Navy, we looked at each operation performed for orthopaedic implant removal at Royal Naval Hospital Stonehouse and questioned their effectiveness with respect to finance and working days lost for serving personnel.
