Orthopaedic information: how to find it fast on the Internet.
The Internet is a rapidly expanding source of information that has gained a valued place in the knowledge armamentarium of the orthopaedic surgeon. Access to current knowledge, published literature, and a vast array of academic, federal, and commercial information has changed the information landscape for both orthopaedic surgeons and their patients. It is valuable to highlight readily available information for orthopaedic surgeons to use for continuing medical education, literature updates, patient education materials, and presentations. There are multiple techniques for accessing and organizing orthopaedic information as well as for identifying and using specific, high-quality, frequently updated Internet sources of information.
