Database of Inherited Diseases. Part of the NLM site and works like PubMed
This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The database contains textual information and references. It also contains copious links to MEDLINE and sequence records in the Entrez system, and links to additional related resources at NCBI and elsewhere.

The purpose of this website is to collect clinical information on rare orthopaedic conditions. Each orthopaedist sees a few of these cases during his or her lifetime in practice, but often only one or two of each type. No one gets enough experience to try out ideas or see trends. By collecting the cases we intend to improve each individual doctor's breadth of experience and thereby increase the chance of improving the outcome in these challenging cases.

ORPHANET is a database dedicated to information on rare diseases and orphan drugs. Access to this database is free of charge.

Orthopaedics.com is a project of Your Practice Online.
Orthopaedics.com is an internet portal for Orthopaedic Specialists, Allied health providers, patients and general public.
Website features interactive presentations on Hip & Knee anatomy, Hip replacement, Hip resurfacing, Knee Replacement, Arthroplasty, Knee arthroscopy, ACL Reconstruction, Unicondylar knee replacement, revision hip and knee replacements. It also includes topics on Orthopaedic research, Arthritis and Sports Medicine.
Also, it explains the risks, complications and provides guidelines for living with surgeries, conditions and procedures.

Objective: To develop a core curriculum for orthopedic surgery and to conduct a national survey to as- sess the importance of 281 curriculum items. Attention was focused on 55 topics pertaining to hip and knee reconstruction.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates agreement that it is important to include 92.7% of the items that pertain to hip and knee reconstruction in a core cur- riculum for orthopedic surgery. Residency training programs may need to ensure that appropriate edu- cational opportunities focusing on complex primary and revision surgery are available to meet the future needs of orthopedic surgeons whose primary affiliation is nonuniversity.
