Gen Z in Orthopaedics and the Unsolved Fracture

In this episode, Marc and Mo focus on 2 compelling topics that were covered in recent articles. The first part of the discussion focuses on the emergence of Generation Z in orthopaedics (and how this generation differs from both Millennials and Generation Y), while the second part focuses on the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures with arthroplasty, with a call for additional work in this area.
