Abstract:
The number of patients undergoing joint replacement and preservation procedures continues to increase worldwide. Globally, there is no standardized educational pathway, training program, or recognized certification program for surgeons in these procedures. Development and implementation of new competency-based curricula to deliver specific educational events and resources may help trainees and practicing surgeons be able to perform these procedures more effectively and therefore improve patient outcomes in their respective countries. Ideally, a curriculum would be globally standardized and professionally designed to interactively meet the needs of surgeons. A competency-based approach with built-in assessment and evaluation processes is today's educational standard.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
