The Orthopaedic Trauma Association is proud to provide this syllabus of lectures to support comprehensive
orthopaedic trauma resident education. These presentations are meant to be used by educators and are supplied in
a fashion that specifically allows for modification. The OTA respectfully requests that proper credit be given to
the original author as well as the OTA when the talks are presented, even in modified form. These lectures will
be continually updated in a rolling fashion over a three year cycle.

The Orthopaedic Trauma Association would like to thank all of the members who participated in creating this second
version of the orthopaedic trauma syllabus and those who will be charged with its maintenance.

This project was supported by an Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation grant. The OTA graciously
acknowledges the contributions of line drawings and art from “Rockwood and Green’s Fractures” textbooks by permission
of Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins.
