During my residency, I assisted a surgeon in performing a femoral nailing procedure. The surgeon handled the critical steps requiring judgment and precision, such as managing the reduction, identifying the correct start point for the guidewire, and inserting it.

When I finished my orthopedic residency, I thought I was ready. I had awards, published a few papers, passed my exams and had a logbook full of cases I had ?done?. I realized that there were many procedures I only partially performed or realized I did many of the non-critical steps of the case.  But when I stepped into the OR on my own, it hit me like a tonne of bricks.
