Pre-operative planning is important in orthopaedic surgery in both trauma and elective orthopaedic surgery. We know of no study into surgeons attitudes to pre-operative planning. A postal questionnaire was used to ascertain attitudes to planning. 94% of consultants and 100% of trainees felt that planning was important but half respectively, routinely planned fracture treatment. Only 24% of trainees and 44% consultants traced fracture configurations from radiographs. 88% of trainees and 91% of consultants felt that planning should be undertaken more often with 94% of consultants expressing a view that trainees should do more planning. Pre-operative planning is good practice and from our study we have shown both trainees and consultants feel it should be undertaken more often. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A framework characterizing high-risk psychiatric patients by their probability of hospitalization and lengthy stay is introduced. Risk curves are then developed for each patient showing the potential impact of mental health case management on patient risk. Preliminary empirical analysis reveals that although most patients benefit from the case management intervention, some 30% of the client population may face an increase in risk of hospitalization and lengthy stay.
