Core Tip	Communication is a fundamental component of medical practice. This study highlights communication issues surrounding cancellation of orthopaedic operations. It reflects patients’ preferences and expectations in these situations. Failure to meet these preferences and expectations predisposes to dissatisfaction and can negatively impact patient experiences and health outcomes. In the current climate, it may fall to individual practitioners to change their approach to communication and patient interaction. Patients appear to place great value on communication delivered by doctors, and a few extra moments spent conversing with a patient may have profound and lasting effects.
