Orthopaedic surgery has always been a popular and competitive field, but in 2022, approximately 40% of applicants for orthopaedic surgery residency positions did not successfully match, despite their immense talent and commitment. This is a failure of the system, not the medical student applicants, and there is no evident solution. In fact, the problem is expected to get worse, as many of the approximately 600 unmatched 2022 applicants are expected to apply again next year, further flooding the pool. Reflecting on the results of the 2022 Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Match, we feel incredibly fortunate and humbled to serve as orthopaedic surgeons with a subspecialty interest in Arthroscopy, Arthroscopy Techniques, and Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation.
骨科手术一直是一个热门且竞争激烈的领域，但在 2022 年，大约 40%的骨科住院医师职位申请者尽管才华横溢且投入，但未能成功匹配。这是系统的失败，而不是医学生申请者的失败，目前没有明显的解决方案。事实上，由于大约 600 名未匹配的 2022 年申请者中的许多人预计明年将再次申请，这将进一步加剧这一问题，该问题预计会变得更糟。回顾 2022 年骨科住院医师匹配的结果，我们感到非常幸运和谦卑，能够作为骨科外科医生，我们对关节镜、关节镜技术、关节镜、运动医学和康复有专业兴趣。
