Introduction to Orthopaedic Surgery for 3rd Year Medical Students
Students should page the Chief Resident on call for Orthopaedic Surgery at their assigned hospital rotation or service
(Sports, Trauma, Joints, Harbor UCLA, WLA-VA, Olive View and Orthopaedic Hospital), the Sunday before the
beginning of the rotation week, for information regarding morning rounds on the Monday of your rotation. The name
of the resident can be found on the Orthopaedic Surgery rotation schedule located at the surgery website:
http://www.ortho.ucla.edu/resident/ - Rotation schedules
Goals and Requirements of the 2 Week Rotation
The overall goal of this rotation is to introduce you to the principles of evaluation and management of orthopaedic
patients. As directed by the assigned attending, you will be required to participate as a team member by attending the
following:
a.) morning rounds
b.) inpatient and outpatient surgery settings
c.) outpatient clinic settings
d.) Multidisciplinary conferences. Varies with service and location
e.) Sign-out from Chief Resident daily before leaving the hospital.
f.) You are encouraged to round with the team on one weekend day during the rotation.
g.) You are encouraged to participate in any overnight call surgeries or procedures. (*optional)
h.) Make sure to have seen or been taught the following areas for your case logs: “arthritis” and “fractures”.
Evaluation of Student Performance:
Your evaluations will be done by at least one faculty member and the chief residents you will be working with.
A. Evaluation of patients
The orthopaedic patient often has a very focused problem. You will be exposed to evaluation and
management of such problems. The H&P should be aimed at focusing on the specific problem and salient
concerns related to the problem as the primary goal of the evaluation. However, many orthopaedic patients have
multiple medical problems that will need to be addressed as well. These should be incorporated as part of your
evaluation. Many of the new patients that you see will have either undergone surgery or will require surgery.
Thus, a comprehensive H&P is still required.
Your physical examination should include thorough musculoskeletal examination both focused and
comprehensive.
You will also begin to develop skills in the succinct oral presentation of pertinent points of the H&P to the
residents and attending faculty both on inpatient wards and on the outpatient clinic setting.
B. Diagnostic Aspects of Orthopaedic Disorders
By the end of the rotation, you should be familiar with a variety of diagnostic techniques in the field of
orthopaedic surgery, and be aware of their indications, limitations, and risks. This includes radiographs,
MRIs, CTs, dynamic radiographic studies, arthrograms, corticosteroid injections and ultrasound.
C. Surgical Treatment of Orthopaedic Disorders
You will have operative exposure to inpatient and outpatient orthopaedic surgery, and should become familiar
with the preoperative diagnostic evaluation of these patients, as well as the basic instrumentation utilized for
various procedures. You should gain knowledge of the potential risks of the surgery that you are observing,
as well as the postoperative care and follow-up that will be required.
