Orthopaedic Surgery - Orthopaedic Surgery Specialty Training Program

Orthopaedic surgeons use both operative and conservative measures to treat conditions affecting bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscle. This is a very ‘hands on’ specialty with a lot of time being spent in the operating room. Many orthopaedic operations are very effective in dramatically improving a patient’s lifestyle by relieving pain and enabling ambulation. As such, orthopaedic surgery is an extremely rewarding specialty which demands a strong level of commitment from those pursuing it. An ageing population with increasingly fragile bones who are more and more prone to falls means that orthopaedic surgeons will never be short of work while new techniques and technologies such as minimally invasive surgery are keeping this specialty dynamic and interesting. Orthopaedic surgeons need to be personable, dedicated and confident individuals with excellent manual dexterity who enjoy working with their hands.
