About Journal CME Activities

Purpose

• To provide the general orthopaedic surgeon and the subspecialist with an ability to assess his or her continuing competence in orthopaedics through the acquisition of contemporary scientific information.
• To provide a broad-based review and update of the major subspecialty areas in orthopaedics.
• To make The Journal reader aware of new advances in orthopaedic surgical techniques and technology.

To earn CME credit for the Journal CME activity you must carefully read the articles that are designated for CME credit, pass the post-activity examination and complete the activity evaluation. In order to pass the general examination, a score higher than 50% correct must be achieved. In order to pass the subspecialty examination, a score of at least 60% must be achieved. The online subspecialty CME activities repeat some questions that appear in the quarterly general CME activities. If you are participating in both activities and claiming CME credits, you must consider this duplication when determining the number of credits you claim for each activity.

The post-activity examinations may be taken for credit (payment is required) or for practice (at no charge).
