    CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Orthopedic surgery implies high costs for both public and private healthcare. The aim of this study was to better understand the differences between the public and private sectors regarding treatment of a damaged anterior cruciate ligament, which is a common knee injury. DESIGN AND SETTING Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted during the Brazilian Orthopedics Congress in Brasília. METHODS We applied questionnaires during the 2010 Brazilian Orthopedics Congress, with participation by 241 knee surgeons from 24 Brazilian states. This was followed by statistical analysis on the data that were obtained. RESULTS The orthopedic surgeons who were evaluated used different approaches and treatment options in different Brazilian states, comparing between the public and private systems. CONCLUSION Both in the public and in the private systems in Brazil, because of non-medical issues surrounding the treatment, the best medical decision is not always made. This may be harmful both to patients and to physicians.

    (Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, 2013-12-01) Motta Filho, Geraldo Da Rocha [UNIFESP]; Silva, Lucia De Fatima Neves Da; Ferracini, Antonio Marcos; Bahr, Germana Lyra; Instituto Nacional de Traumatologia e Ortopedia; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz Escola Nacional de Saude Publica; Fundacao Getulio Vargas; Hospital San Rafael; Audencia School of Management; Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
    Objective:The research examined Brazilian orthopedists' degree of knowledge of the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist.Methods:A voluntary survey was conducted among the 3231 orthopedists taking part in the 44th Brazilian Congress of Orthopedics and Traumatology in November 2012, using a questionnaire on the use of WHO Surgical Safety Checklist. A statistical analysis was done upon receipt of 502 completed questionnaires.Results:Among the 502 orthopedists, 40.8% reported the experience of wrong site or wrong patient surgery and 25.6% of them indicated miscommunication as the main cause for the error. 35.5% of the respondents do not mark the surgical site before sending the patient to the operating room and 65.3% reported lack of knowledge of the World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist, fully or partially. 72.1% of the orthopedists have never been trained to use this protocol.Discussion:Medical errors are more common in the surgical environment and represent a high risk to patient safety. Orthopedic surgery is a high volume specialty with major technical complexity and therefore with increased propensity for errors. Most errors are avoidable through the use of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist. The study showed that 65.3% of Brazilian orthopedists are unaware of this protocol, despite the efforts of WHO for its disclosure.
