Data collected through interviews with 113 patients admitted to hospital with indication for orthopedic surgery was organized into a table where the information was classified by perioperative periods and after discharge, and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. Results: Prevalence of women, elderly and the main indication was fracture. Sixteen pieces of information were mentioned by the patients: eight on the preoperative period, one in the intraoperative period and seven on the postoperative period, of which only four were related to the post discharge period.
