AIM: To determine (1) frequency of resident research projects being in the same orthopaedic subspecialty that they ultimately choose for fellowship and practice; (2) percentage of research projects that were published. METHODS: Resident Thesis Day programs were independently assessed by two reviewers from 2010 to 2020. Reviewers classified projects based on orthopaedic subspecialty: Spine, Joints, Trauma, Hand, Foot and Ankle, Sports, Pediatrics, Oncology, and Shoulder Elbow. Presenting residents' fellowship subspecialty, current practice specialty, and geographic state of current practice were collected using internet searches. Correlation of residents who completed a thesis day project in the same subspecialty as their fellowship and current practice was calculated. RESULTS: A total of 81 resident physicians, 11 (13.6%) female, were included. In the entire cohort, 50.6% did a thesis day project in a different field than their current or projected subspecialty. Of those who completed, or are currently completing fellowship, 33 (52.4%) did their thesis day project in the same subspecialty as their fellowship. Of the current residents who have matched into fellowship, 46.7% did a thesis day project in the same subspecialty. A total of 51 (63.0%) projects were published. CONCLUSION: The majority of resident research projects were published, and about 50% of orthopaedic residents went on to complete a fellowship and practice in the same subspecialty as their research project. As residents often spend a considerable amount of time and effort on their projects, these findings may help tailor resident education and research curriculums to focus more on research principles than specific orthopedic content.
