Not-so-traumatic ortho programs?

[AmRadio]

I'm loving ortho, but my home program gets A LOT of ortho trauma. I'm thinking I could probably learn to be a good surgeon during daylight hours just as well as repairing crackhead fibulas at 2 am. Anyone know of some good programs in eastern U.S. that are fairly light on trauma?

My school's home program (Hahnemann) is pretty light on trauma.

This may be an ignorant question,

but what's a crackhead fibula?

Is that a crackhead's fibula, or is it some fracture classification that I'm completely unaware of (the latter is a definite possibility).

The former -- sorry, should have read "crackheads' fibulas". Anyone else know of such programs?
