As orthopaedic surgeons become more specialized, it is important that they remain up to date in the diagnosis and management of common orthopaedic problems. These can include conditions encountered in the clinic and/or on call. It is important that practicing surgeons stay abreast of recognition and management of problems, not only for the patients, but also to avoid commonly missed conditions or less-than-optimal treatment. The orthopaedic surgeon should be aware of the top tips in multiple disciplines, including orthopaedic oncology, hand, and trauma.
