I wanted to ask how the ortho job landscape is nowadays where almost everyone is fellowship trained:
1- Is it harder to get jobs as a fellowship trained ortho since you are now practicing in a niche with far less volume (naturally) than the general orthopod that used to see everything bone related?
2- Do you still get to do some of the very common ortho procedures you are comfortable with regardless of your fellowship? i.e. ortho spine doing primary TKA and THA
and if so how many procedures are they approx?
3- Is it true all orthopods should be well-versed in trauma regardless of specialty due to having to share call?
4- I heard fellowship training delegated most orthos to doing the same procedures over and over again, is variety really dead in your practice?
