Editor’s comment Orthopaedic nursing worldwide continues to emphasise and develop its specialty status. The literature contains much debate and comment on this topic. However, most commentators rarely add to the body of knowledge. This ground breaking article, produced from current research, provides a wealth of data and new knowledge for orthopaedic nurses to use and carry forward into the future.
