“…Although the time between completion of fellowship training and sitting for the ABOS Part II examination may vary, this served as a surrogate for the number of recently trained orthopaedic oncology fellows. Similar to previous studies [8,9], we found that there was a greater number of examinees who reported orthopaedic oncology fellowship training during the second half of the study than during the first 5 years of the study. Since the first orthopaedic oncology fellowship was established in the late 1970s, there has been a slow but steady increase in the number of available fellowship positions [5,6].…”

“…Nearly 90% of today's orthopaedic residents will pursue additional subspecialty fellowship training, a number that has continued to increase with time [8,9]. Potential explanations for the recent increase in fellowship training include the desire for a focused clinical practice, angst resulting from limited exposure to techniques during residency training, market influences, and financial incentives [7,9].…”

“…15 Similarly, a recent survey found that 13% of orthopedic residents in postgraduate year 3 or higher in the United States are women. 16 Hopefully, the increasing prevalence of female orthopedists will lead to a greater female representation among the field's leaders. The long hours and lack of family time in orthopedic leadership positions may play a role in the small number of women who serve in these positions.…”

Background: Highly successful orthopedic surgeons are a small group of individuals who exert a large influence on the orthopedic field. However, the characteristics of these leaders have not been well-described or studied. Methods:Orthopedic surgeons who are departmental chairs, journal editors, editorial board members of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (British edition), or current or past presidents of major orthopedic associations were invited to complete a survey designed to provide insight into their motivations, academic backgrounds and accomplishments, emotional and physical health, and job satisfaction. Results:In all, 152 surgeons completed the questionnaire. We identified several characteristics of highly successful surgeons. Many have contributed prolific numbers of publications and book chapters and obtained considerable funding for research. They were often motivated by a "desire for personal development (interesting challenge, new opportunities)," whereas "relocating to a new institution, financial gain, or lack of alternative candidates" played little to no role in their decisions to take positions of leadership. Most respondents were happy with their specialty choice despite long hours and high levels of stress. Despite challenges to their time, successful orthopedic surgeons made a strong effort to maintain their health; compared with other physicians, they exercise more, are more likely to have a primary care physician and feel better physically. Conclusion:Departmental chairs, journal editors and presidents of orthopedic associations cope with considerable demands of clinical, administrative, educational and research duties while maintaining a high level of health, happiness and job satisfaction.Contexte : Les chirurgiens orthopédistes qui connaissent beaucoup de succès forment un petit groupe de personnes fort influentes dans le domaine de l'orthopédie. Toutefois, les caractéristiques de ces chefs de file n'ont été ni bien décrites, ni étudiées. Méthodes :Nous avons invité des chirurgiens orthopédistes qui sont chefs de leurs départements, rédacteurs en chef de revues scientifiques, membres du comité de rédac-tion du Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (édition britannique) ou présidents ou prési-dents sortants d'associations d'orthopédie réputées à répondre à un questionnaire destiné à mettre au jour leurs motivations, leur bagage universitaire et leurs réalisations, leur état de santé émotionnel et physique et leur degré de satisfaction professionnelle.Résultats : En tout, 152 chirurgiens ont répondu au questionnaire. Nous avons déga -gé plusieurs caractéristiques propres aux chirurgiens qui réussissent très bien. Plusieurs ont abondamment publié (articles et chapitres d'ouvrages) et ont obtenu d'importantes subventions de recherche. Ils se sont dits souvent motivés par un désir de se perfectionner (défis intéressants, nouvelles possibilités), tandis que « la relocalisation vers un nouvel établissement, les gains économiques ou le manque d'autres candidats » ont joué un rôle mineur, voi...

“…This necessitates flexible training in order to accommodate maternity requirements, along with a potential rise of less-than-full-time training. Alongside sex differences, generational changes must also be considered, as you cannot assume the career longevity of current trainees will be the same as their predecessors [5].…”

Matching the number of surgeons to the demands for orthopedic services has been notoriously difficult. Not only does one need to evaluate current trends in the supply and provision of services but anticipate the impact of future reforms on these variables. The British Orthopaedic Association has aspired to provide consultant to population ratio of 1:15,000 by 2020. Currently, the orthopedic community is tasked with providing care for an aging population with soaring levels of obesity; with both of these factors set to grow and also with an overall decline in productivity. Orthopedic surgeons must brace themselves for an explosion in demand. At the same time, a paradigm shift has occurred in the delivery of services with the creation of specialist centers. We are amidst a generational shift in the demographics and psychology of the orthopedic workforce. The orthopedic community must be aware of the effects of these far-reaching changes when tailoring the supply of surgeons for the future needs.
