The Impact of Financial Education on Stress Among Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Background: Financial stress has been an increasing area of concern for residents and attendings. The primary goal of this study was to determine the financial education level and differentiate financial outcome measures of orthopaedic surgery residents and attendings.

Methods: A survey of all residents and attendings of the 201 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited orthopaedic surgery programs in the United States.

Effects of easing shelter-in-place restrictions and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic on orthopaedic trauma at a community level 2 trauma center.

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of easing "shelter-in-place" restrictions and coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) cases on orthopaedic trauma encounters (OTEs) at a community level II trauma center.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of OTEs from March-June of 2016 to 2020. Injuries were classified by high or low severity.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Experience.

Introduction: The rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus led to dramatic changes in graduate medical education and surgical practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Orthopaedic Surgery residency education in the United States.

Methods: A survey sent to all residents of the 201 ACGME-accredited Orthopaedic Surgery programs in the United States.

Effect of Shelter-in-Place Orders and the COVID-19 Pandemic on Orthopaedic Trauma at a Community Level II Trauma Center.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the "shelter-in-place" order on orthopaedic trauma presenting to a community level II trauma center. It is hypothesized that the overall number of orthopaedic trauma encounters (OTEs), the number of OTEs related to both high and low severity injuries, and the proportion of OTEs related to high severity versus low severity injuries decreased compared with previous years.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of OTEs between 2016 and 2020.

The Rules of Four: A Systematic Approach to Diagnosing Common Musculoskeletal Conditions of the Knee.

Musculoskeletal symptoms are consistently one of the most commonly cited reasons for visits to ambulatory care centers every year, with knee pain accounting for approximately one-third of the reported complaints. Previous studies have demonstrated that many non-orthopedic physicians report a lack of confidence in performing clinical musculoskeletal knee examinations. "The Rules of Four" approach presented in this paper is designed to present a systematic and concise method to musculoskeletal examination of the knee within a memorable format.
