Some orthopaedic surgery residents may find that another residency program is more appropriate for them to succeed either personally or professionally. Currently, there is a paucity of information on the available avenues for residency program transfers in orthopaedic surgery. In this review, the authors discuss common reasons for orthopaedic surgery residency program transfer including logistical considerations, keys to success, and potential pitfalls during this process.
