- W2325551191 abstract "We completed a retrospective case study of 66 consecutive isolated closed 5 th metacarpal neck fractures that presented to our Hospital between September 2009 and March 2010. Their management was established by referring to outpatient letters and A&E notes. The aim of the study was to establish if it would be more efficient and cost effective for these patients to be managed in A&E review clinic without compromising patient care. Of these 66 patients, 56 were males and the mean age was 26 years (12–88 years). Four fractures were not followed up at our Trust, six did not attend their outpatient appointment, one did not require follow up. Of the remaining 55, reviewed at a fracture clinic, all but two were managed conservatively, with 47% requiring one outpatient appointment only. The cost of a new patient Orthopaedic outpatient appointment is £180 with subsequent follow up appointments costing £80 per visit, in contrast to an A&E review clinic appointment at a cost of £60. In view of the small percentage in need of surgical intervention: we highlight the possibility for these patients to be managed solely in the A&E department with a management plan made at the A&E review clinic with an option to refer patients if necessary, and the provision of management guidelines and care quality assurance measures. This, we believe, would maintain care quality for these patients, improve efficiency of fracture clinics and decrease cost. We calculate that even if only all the patients that required one follow up appointment could have been managed by A&E alone then the saving to the local health commissioning body over a six month period from within our trust alone, would have been £3000, which across all trusts providing acute trauma services within the NHS would amount to a substantial saving nationwide." @default.
