After Match Day, orthopedic surgery is finally open to every kind of surgeon [PODCAST]

Summary: Orthopedic surgery isn't just for tall, athletic guys anymore. Thanks to new technology and AI, the field has totally changed. In the past, surgeons had to use heavy tools like five-pound mallets, which took a huge physical toll. Now, modern power tools and minimally invasive devices do the heavy lifting. This means surgeons of any size and background can succeed. AI also helps residents learn faster, turning weeks of research into a quick 30-minute coffee break. Once you match into a program, your past grades don't matter. It's all about learning, adapting, and helping patients.
