It doesn't take a subscription to a peer-reviewed medical journal to gain knowledge and understanding in the orthopedic world. Today there is a plethora of websites and blogs with so much free information that you can practically get free continuing education online. Here's a list of some helpful sites. I've tried to focus on the ones that are more focused on concepts and education instead of product placement and marketing. Let me know if there is anything I'm missing.
