International medical graduates (IMG) comprise many annual applications submitted for the orthopaedic surgery match but traditionally have a noticeably lower match rate compared with graduates from allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in the United States. Barriers for IMGs include (1) limited US clinical experience, (2) suboptimal networking and sponsorship opportunities, and (3) the extended time and financial investment required to build a strong application. This review article identifies important tips to circumvent these barriers, providing IMGs with a pathway to a successful match into orthopaedic surgery.
