Struggling to Choose a focus area
Hi everybody!
I am a first-year student who is currently struggling to choose which area of vet med interests me the most. I know I want to practice small animal medicine, but enjoy learning about all of our domestic species. I would like to be able to do advanced surgical techniques for the clinic that hires me after I graduate (TPLO, arthroscopies, etc.), as well as continually learn more about diagnostic ultrasound techniques.

How technical of a procedure is hip FAI surgery?
I'm curious how technical/difficult of a procedure a hip arthroscopy for FAI + labral tear is- specifically is it one of those procedures where there is a lot to gain from seeing a surgeon who does them in high volume (more niche) or more of a generic procedure that many sports medicine fellowship trained surgeons can do well? I appreciate your input. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

"this study confirms that the majority of orthopaedic surgical interventions are not based on RCTs" - thoughts??
This study comes to the conclusion that MANY of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures are not based on high quality RCTs, what does this mean for the future of ortho? will we see less ortho surgeries in the future and a shift towards non-surgical managment? will the majority of the field's bread and butter go extinct like meniscectomy, vertebroplasty, arthroscopic knee debridment...

Choosing Surgical Specialty with Orthopedic Issues..
I am very interested in surgery, but have several medical issues, such as De Quervian and Carpal Tunnel, and have had arthroscopic elbow and knee surgery and back surgery.
I am able to stand fine and my surgeons have told me it should be okay but I am worried about longevity with these wrist conditions and possibly back condition (surgery went fine) . Standing if anything is better than sitting often for me.
However, in a field that uses hands so much, i am worried that with de quervian...
