If you're actually on an ortho rotation now, and it's the first time you've done one, I doubt the residents will expect you to know too much. Ask them what they want in the note and H&P. It can be sort of school specific. (My home program, AVSS usually suffices for part of it, and at my away, they wanted all the vitals written out).
 
here, a ortho student's soap note is something like this
