The development and implementation of a dedicated orthopedic trauma operating room (OTOR) that is used for the treatment of orthopedic trauma patients has changed and improved the practice of orthopedic trauma surgery. Advantages noted with OTOR implementation include improvements in morbidity and complication rates, enhancements in the professional and personal lifestyles of the on-call surgeon, and increased physician recruitment and retention in orthopedic traumatology. However, the inappropriate use of the OTOR, which can waste valuable resources and delay the treatment of emergent cases, must be monitored and avoided.
用于治疗骨科创伤患者的专用骨科创伤手术室（OTOR）的开发与实施，改变并改善了骨科创伤手术的实践。实施OTOR所带来的优势包括发病率和并发症发生率的改善、值班外科医生职业和个人生活方式的提升，以及骨科创伤学领域医生招聘和留用人数的增加。然而，必须监测并避免OTOR的不当使用，因为这可能会浪费宝贵资源并延误急症治疗。
