Intro: Simulation-based training has become a valuable new tool in medical education across the country. The Orthopedic Surgery Interest Group (OSIG) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine organized a benchtop training workshop known as "Sawbones" to give medical students essential exposure to basic techniques and instruments commonly used in orthopedic surgery. This pilot study seeks to investigate the participating students' perceptions of this workshop as part of a potential longitudinal intervention.

- * The study looked at 378 patients who had spine surgery before and after the law to see if the number of pain pills prescribed changed.
- * After the law, doctors prescribed fewer pain pills and lower doses to patients after surgery, which is a good step, but more needs to be done to help manage pain safely.
Article Synopsis
- OSIGs play a crucial role in mentoring medical students interested in orthopedic surgery by providing opportunities like clinical shadowing, faculty mentorship, and residency application guidance.
- OSIG involvement positively influences residency applicants, with faculty considering it an important aspect of their applications, though leadership positions within OSIG are seen as less critical.
- The data shows that OSIG members have a higher match rate for orthopedic residency programs, with nearly all successful applicants being involved in OSIG activities.
Background: In the Spring of 2020, residency programs across the country experienced rapid and drastic changes to their application process as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In response, residency programs shifted to virtual events and began harnessing social media to communicate with applicants.
Aim: To analyze the changes in social media usage by orthopaedic surgery programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The purpose of the current brief communication is to establish a discussion regarding level of expertise (LOE) documentation in future arthroplasty clinical studies and to document the trend in adoption of LOE among arthroplasty publications to date. A review of (), (), and () databases for original studies published between April 2016 and July 2020 was performed. A total of 105 articles were identified and evaluated in , 1011 in , 127 in , and 383 in .

Agenesis of human vestigial muscles including the palmaris longus (PL), fibularis tertius (FT), and psoas minor (PM) has been studied; however, the relationship between their presence and absence has not been examined. The purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence of the PL, FT, and PM muscles, investigate any relationship of prevalence based on sex or race, and investigate any correlation between the presence or absence of each muscle within individual donors.
