Review
Orthopedic injuries are a common occurrence in disasters. In the aftermath of a disaster, there may be a large number of patients with orthopedic injuries, and the health-care system may be overwhelmed. This review hopes to provide a review of modern concepts in disaster orthopedics.

Review
Three-dimensional (3D)-printing technology has evolved dramatically in the last 30 years, from large machines with poor resolution to those with micron-level capabilities that sit on a desktop. This technology is being utilized in numerous medical applications, particularly in orthopaedic surgery. Over the past decade, technological advances have allowed for the application of this technology to the field of tissue engineering through the process of 3D bioprinting. Of interest to orthopaedic surgeons, active areas of research utilizing this technology involve the bioprinting of articular cartilage, bone, menisci, and intervertebral discs.

Review
INTRODUCTION
As the demand for rehabilitation in orthopaedics increases, so too has the development in advanced rehabilitation technology. However, to date, there are no review papers outlining the broad scope of advanced rehabilitation technology used within the orthopaedic population. The aim of this study is to identify, describe and summarise the evidence for efficacy for all advanced rehabilitation technologies applicable to orthopaedic practice.
METHODS
The relevant literature describing the use of advanced rehabilitation technology in orthopaedics was identified from appropriate electronic databases (PubMed and EMBASE) and a narrative review undertaken.
RESULTS
Advanced rehabilitation technologies were classified into two groups: hospital-based and home-based rehabilitation. In the hospital-based technology group, we describe the use of continuous passive motion and robotic devices (after spinal cord injury) and their effect on improving clinical outcomes. We also report on the use of electromagnetic sensor technology for measuring kinematics of upper and lower limbs during rehabilitation. In the home-based technology group, we describe the use of inertial sensors, smartphones, software applications and commercial game hardware that are relatively inexpensive, user-friendly and widely available. We outline the evidence for videoconferencing for promoting knowledge and motivation for rehabilitation as well as the emerging role of virtual reality.
CONCLUSIONS
The use of advanced rehabilitation technology in orthopaedics is promising and evidence for its efficacy is generally supportive.

Review
Orthopedic/Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation can be both a valuable comprehensive patient care service and economic addition to many veterinary practices. As partners within the hospital, the Orthopedic/Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation service not only provides consultations for all patients with the ultimate goal of return to function (regardless of their "job"), the service also contributes to the recovery of patients in hospital, provides critical pain management and mobility assistance for hospitalized and postoperative patients, and champions a wide variety of supportive patient care solutions in many services within a hospital. After patient discharge, the team can then aid in the client and patient recovery at home with key home exercise programs and communications to bolster the patient's home recovery, ongoing rehabilitation, and eventual return to function.

Review
Survival analyses are a powerful statistical tool used to analyse data when the outcome of interest involves the time until an event. There is an array of models fit for this goal; however, there are subtle differences in assumptions, as well as a number of pitfalls, that can lead to biased results if researchers are unaware of the subtleties. As larger amounts of data become available, and more survival analyses are published every year, it is important that healthcare professionals understand how to evaluate these models and apply them into their practice. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to present an overview of survival analyses, including required assumptions and important pitfalls, as well as examples of their use within orthopaedic surgery.

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to analyse the factors that led to resignations from Orthopaedics and Traumatology Residency pro- grammes in Turkey, and to determine the overall rate of resignation among residents from Orthopaedics and Traumatology programmes.
METHODS
In this cross-sectional survey,120 residents who either resigned or transferred to other OT clinics between autumn of 2013 and spring of 2020 were included. They were asked to complete a questionnare which was sent via Whatssapp application or e-mail. The ques- tionnare was comprised of 2 sections; Section A, which adressed resignation, consisted of 15 questions and Section B, which adressed transfer to another OT programme, consisted of 12 questions. Both sections had open ended and multiple choice questions.
RESULTS
Of 120 residents, 96 (6.6%) resigned and then transferred to another specialty, and 24 (1.6%) transferred to another orthopedics and traumatology clinic based on our review. The overall resignation rate as per the total quotas for orthopedics and traumatology residency from 2013 to 2020 was 8.2%. Of the 120 orthopedics and traumatology residents who were eligible for the survey, 83 (70%) completed the questionnaire. Sixty-one (60 males, 1 female; median age = 26 years; age range = 25-35) of 96 residents who resigned from the orthopedics and traumatology residency completed section A (the response rate was 63.5%); 22 (22 males; median age=27.6 years; age range=25-34) out of 24 residents who transferred to another orthopedics and traumatology clinic completed section B (the response rate was 91.6%). In section A, 40 out of 61 individuals (65.5%) preferred orthopedics and traumatology specialty as the first choice in TUS, and 34 residents (55.7%) reported not to have had enough information regarding the residency program before starting their clinics. In section B, out of the 22 residents, 13 (59%) stated that orthopedics and traumatology residency was not their first choice in TUS, and 18 (81.8%) reported not to have had sufficient knowledge about the preferred clinic. The most common reason for resignation or transfer to another specialty was heavy workload (n=46, 74.19%), followed by excessive hours of work (n=45, 72.58%). The most common reason for transfer to another orthopedics and traumatology clinic was drudgery (n=10, 45.5%), followed by problems with the hierarchy in orthopedics and traumatology residency (n = 9, 40.9%).
CONCLUSION
The results of this survey have shown us, with an overall resignation rate of 8.2% as per the total quotas for OT residency from 2013 to 2020, that resignation from OT residency represents an important problem in Turkey. Workload and excessive hours of work were the most common reasons for resignation from orthopaedic residency programmes. Furthermore, extra work that diverted residents from their actual job responsibilities, as well as academic and educational concerns, were the main factors leading to transfer to another OT residency programme.
