Orthopaedic surgery is one of the more competitive specialties for medical students to pursue. Students often complete subinternship rotations to demonstrate skill, work ethic, and fit within a program. Away rotations were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This investigation compared home and regional match rates before the pandemic to the match cycle of 2020-2021.
There was a statistically significant increase in students matching to their home program, and insignificant increase in regional matches.
This increase is likely due in part to the familiarity of students to programs where they could still rotate during the pandemic.

骨科手术是医学生竞争较为激烈的专业之一。学生们经常完成实习轮转以展示技能、职业道德并适应某个项目。在新冠疫情期间，异地轮转被暂停。
本调查将疫情前的本地和区域匹配率与2020 - 2021年的匹配周期进行了比较。
与本地项目匹配的学生数量有统计学意义的增加，而区域匹配的增加不显著。
这种增加可能部分归因于学生对在疫情期间仍能进行轮转的项目的熟悉度。
