Review
In the last 10 years, basic and clinical research in orthopaedics has developed rapidly. Understanding of orthopaedic disorders involves not only routine diagnosis, but also the pursuit of highly efficient and accurate three-dimensional imaging of the intra- and extra-medullary distribution, form and structure of orthopaedic disorders, thus allowing scientific evaluation of the indications for surgery, drawing up of the best surgical plan, minimization of operative trauma and the earliest possible restoration of limb function. Meanwhile, the most important type of basic research, which was previously biomechanical research, has gradually become computational biomechanics based on in vitro cadaver experiments. This review aims to summarize the research status and application prospects of digital technology in orthopaedics, including virtual reality technology, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping techniques, computational biomechanics, computer navigation technology and management of digitization of medical records.

Orthopaedic societies, with their diverse membership from across the world, serve a mission to endorse the progress and innovation in the field of orthopaedics and traumatology with a focus on improving patient care, as well as to encourage and develop education, teaching and research. Such organizations, whether small or large, have been successful in meeting the professional, educational and training needs of its members. The past and future presidents of these societies share insights addressing their professional experiences, lessons learnt and their vision for future leaders of the field. The objective of this article is to summarize the thoughts of presidents of orthopaedic societies from around the globe and to inspire younger and aspiring members of the global orthopaedic fraternity.

Review
Climate change poses one of the most critical threats to humanity. Surgical care needs to be considered in relation to the impending climate emergency. Little thought appears to have been given to the role of operating departments as a high-yield target for environmental change. This article evaluates the environmental impact of orthopaedic surgery, focusing on anaesthesia, waste management and surgical hardware. Developing 'green' operating protocols should be the minimum expectation of orthopaedic departments. Just as the management of complex surgical pathology requires a multidisciplinary approach, mitigating the environmental impact of surgical endeavour requires collective action and buy-in.

Review
Recent decades have seen marked advances in the quality of clinical orthopaedic trauma research, and with this has come a rise in the number of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) being conducted in orthopaedic trauma. These trials have been largely valuable in driving evidence-based management of injuries which previously had clinical equipoise. However, though RCTs are traditionally seen as the 'gold standard' of high-quality research, this research method is comprised primarily of two entities, explanatory and pragmatic designs, each with its own strengths and limitations. Most orthopaedic trials lie within a continuum between these designs, with varying degrees of both pragmatic and explanatory features. In this narrative review we provide a summary of the nuances within orthopaedic trial design, the advantages and limitations of such designs, and suggest tools which may aid clinicians in the appropriate selection and evaluation of trial designs.

Review
BACKGROUND
There are less and fewer opportunities for residents to learn and develop surgical skills in the operating room. In some parts of the world, the development and adaptation of technology for the teaching of psychomotor skills in surgical specialties appears. Arthroscopy is a surgical technique that lends itself to simulation. So far there is no such thing as a structured and validated arthroscopy training program for orthopaedic residents in Mexico.
OBJECTIVE
To propose a structured arthroscopy training plan that incorporates the simulation for orthopaedic residents.
METHOD
A review of the literature on teaching with simulation in orthopaedics and arthroscopy was performed, a study was conducted to establish reference values for arthroscopy exercises in a virtual reality simulator and a training plan was developed with Arthroscopy simulation for orthopaedic residents.
RESULTS
A seven-stage program was developed with theoretical classes and simulation to improve motor skills. The complexity of the procedures increases through the practical modules. It is complemented by a semester evaluation.
DISCUSSION
Currently most of the efforts in teaching with simulators focus on medical students and first-and second-year residents. I believe that efforts should be focused to include residents of higher ranks and surgeons. This design will be proposed to the orthopaedic Unique Medical Education Program (PUEM in Spanish). It is important to develop validated curricula that incorporate the simulation for the development of motor skills in orthopaedic residents.

Review
Traditional orthopaedic devices do not communicate with physicians or patients post-operatively. After implantation, follow-up of traditional orthopaedic devices is generally limited to episodic monitoring. However, the orthopaedic community may be shifting towards incorporation of smart technology. Smart technology in orthopaedics is a term that encompasses a wide range of potential applications. Smart orthopaedic implants offer the possibility of gathering data and exchanging it with an external reader. They incorporate technology that enables automated sensing, measuring, processing, and reporting of patient or device parameters at or near the implant. While including advanced technology in orthopaedic devices has the potential to benefit patients, physicians, and the scientific community, it may also increase the patient risks associated with the implants. Understanding the benefit-risk profile of new smart orthopaedic devices is critical to ensuring their safety and effectiveness. The 2018 FDA public workshop on orthopaedic sensing, measuring, and advanced reporting technology (SMART) devices was held on April 30, 2018, at the FDA White Oak Campus in Silver Spring, MD with the goal of fostering a collaborative dialogue amongst the orthopaedic community. Workshop attendees discussed four key areas related to smart orthopaedic devices: engineering and technology considerations, clinical and patient perspectives, cybersecurity, and regulatory considerations. The workshop presentations and associated discussions highlighted the need for the orthopaedic community to collectively craft a responsible path for incorporating smart technology in musculoskeletal disease care.
