description Lost X-ray films waste time, delay treatment, and may necessitate a patient being exposed to further radiation. Audit of a 132-bed orthopaedic and trauma department over a 2-month period showed that 16 patients' X-ray films were lost. Fifteen (93%) had been stored in anonymous polythene packets. Only 5 (31%) were found within half an hour, and a mean of 67 minutes' working time was occupied locating each one. Recognition of why and where they were lost reduced the number of losses.
