Go to the webpages of the programs you are interested (from frieda or just google) and most will list them. The ones I know of are:

Ohio State University (1 spot)
U Penn (2 spots)
NYU-HJD (requires prior pHD or at least 1 substantial full year of research during medical school)
Penn State (they have 2 different tracks)

I'm sure there are plenty more. Good luck.

Thanks. I will do this soon. I was wondering if you knew whether these programs were easier to get into than regular ortho tracks. I would think that b/c of the extra year they might not be too popular...

Frankly, most people apply for as many spots as they can afford to, including the 6 year spots. In the big picture, these spots are not "easier" to get into. While applicants who have interviewed for both the 5 and 6 year slots will probably rank the 5 year program higher than the 6, most of these positions are in programs that are otherwise pretty competitive (i.e. more difficult to get an interview with in the first place).

SLU has a 5+1 program. They take 3 per year, trying to get approval for a fourth resident per year. A very good program. If you think you might be interested in trauma, it is a great place to be.

West Va has a 6 yr track for one of their 3 spots.

Umass has 2 out of their 4 yr spots. These are outside the match.

Wake Forest has a 7 year program. (5+2). Supposed to be as hard, or harder to get into than the 5 year deal.

BU has a 6yr track.
UNC has a 6yr track.
UVA has a 6yr track.
The 7 year Wake Forest track is easier to get than a regular ortho spot. 6 year tracks are hard to get but 7 year tracks are still considered back doors into ortho by some.
