5 Must-Have iOS Apps For Those in Orthopedics (slideshow)

At the recently-concluded annual meeting of the American Academy Orthopaedic Surgeons in New Orleans, one recurring topic that was presented was how to leverage capabilities of smartphones and tablets.

Two presenters in particular - Orrin I. Franko, a resident member of AAOS, and founder of TopOrthoApps - and John P. Andrawis, a graduate of the University of Chicago's business school and a resident member of AAOS - talked at length about specific apps that will make the lives of harried orthopedic surgeons easier, while also improving interaction with patients. 

The slideshow that includes both iPhone apps and iPad tabs is based on their recommendations. Since Apple devices are what is most popular with orthopedic surgeons and residents, the receommendations are all of apps that populate Apple's App store.
