Are Canadian orthopaedic surgeons and American orthopaedic surgeons on par? A Canadian practice survey of orthopaedic traumatologists

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to obtain information on Canadian orthopaedic trauma surgeon practices and salary demographics. It was hypothesized that most of the practicing surgeons recognize specific practice aspects (compensation, call schedule, operating room availability, and provided support staff) as key factors in employment opportunity evaluation.
