Our goal is to provide helpful information to the busy orthopaedic surgeon in a quick, easily accessible format.

eORIF.com will only be useful for orthopaedic surgeons who have previously read the text and journal articles to which it refers. eORIF.com presents simple highlights or key clinical points and is no substitute for comprehensive orthopaedic surgery texts, original journal articles and sound clinical training. The site has not been peer reviewed and does not suggest or recommend any treatment for any specific patient. It should not be used by anyone other than a well-trained orthopaedic surgeon. The site is not complete and due to continuous advances in orthopaedics it never will be.

By entering and using this site, you are deemed to have agreed to the full terms and conditions of use which can be found here - Term and Conditions of Use.
