Abstract
The first Trauma and Orthopaedic unit dates back to 1780, originally dedicated to the treatment of children's deformities. The specialty has subsequently become multifaceted, with a plethora of subspecialty areas of which orthopaedic trauma is the most commonly practiced. Recently there has been a significant demand for an evidence base with more than 130,000 of the 162,000 publications in the last century occurring within the past 20 years. This narrative review will summarise some of the more landmark changes within orthopaedic trauma that have been made within the past 20 years, whilst also attempting to predict where the specialty will continue to develop as we move forward.
