About Us

The eORIF web site is a combination of notes taken from lectures, orthopaedic texts, journals, and patient care. It was initially developed as a quick and easy way to find pertinent information during a busy clinical practice and as an easy way to find and review manufacture technique guides before cases. The eORIF.com web site will only be useful for orthopeadic surgeons who have previously read the text and journal articles to which it refers. eORIF.com only presents 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 The site has not been peer reviewed and does not suggest or recommend any specific treatment.
