Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Northwestern Memorial Hospital Arkes Family Pavilion, Investigation Performed at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University, 676 N Saint Clair, Ste 1350, Chicago, IL, 60611, USA.
Purpose Of Review: The burden of musculoskeletal disease is increasing globally and disproportionately affecting people in low and middle income countries (LMIC). We sought to review global access to orthopaedic care, burden of trauma, research infrastructure, impact of surgical mission trips, implant availability, and the effect of COVID-19 upon the delivery of orthopaedic care worldwide.
Recent Findings: The majority of people in LMIC do not have access to safe, quality surgical care, and there are few fellowship-trained orthopaedic traumatologists.
