Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic surgery
  • Medical communication
  • Professional ethics

Background:

  • Medical slang is prevalent in orthopaedics for communication and team building.
  • Careless use of slang can alienate physicians and create hostile clinical environments.
  • Inappropriate terminology may discourage trainees from pursuing orthopaedic careers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reassess the use of medical slang in orthopaedics.
  • To identify specific examples of inappropriate terminology.
  • To propose respectful and practical alternative terms for inclusive communication.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common medical slang in the orthopaedic community.
  • Analysis of the historical context and impact of specific terms.
  • Development of alternative terminology based on respect and practicality.

Main Results:

  • Identified 8 specific examples of inappropriate orthopaedic slang.
  • Explored the origins and negative consequences of these terms.
  • Suggested alternative, inclusive language for clinical settings.

Conclusions:

  • Reassessing and replacing inappropriate medical slang is crucial for fostering inclusivity in orthopaedics.
  • Adopting respectful terminology enhances trust and encourages diverse participation in the field.
  • Inclusive communication strategies are essential for effective and ethical orthopaedic practice.
