Whilst these surgical procedures typically result in considerable improvements to health outcomes it is increasingly appreciated that surgery is a high risk industry. Tools developed in the aviation industry are beginning to be used to minimise the risk of errors in surgery. One such tool is the World Health Organization s WHO surgery checklist. The National Patient Safety Agency NPSA manages the largest database of patient safety incidents PSIs in the world already having received over three million reports of episodes of care that could or did result in iatrogenic harm. The aim of this study was to estimate how many incidents of wrong site surgery in orthopaedics that have been reported to the NPSA could have been prevented by the WHO surgical checklist. Methods The National Reporting and Learning Service NRLS database was searched between 1st January 200831st December 2008 to identify all incidents classified as wrong site surgery in orthopaedics. These incidents were broken down into the different types of wrong site surgery. A Likert-scale from 1-5 was used to assess the preventability of these cases if the checklist was used. Results 133 316 42 incidents satisfied the inclusion criteria. A large proportion of cases 183 316
