I have over five years of experience as a surgical technologist, specializing in orthopedic procedures such as joint replacements, fracture repairs, and spinal surgeries. I am proficient in preparing the operating room, sterilizing instruments, and assisting surgeons during procedures. My hands-on experience includes handling orthopedic implants, using power tools, and ensuring proper patient positioning. I stay updated on the latest techniques and technologies in orthopedic surgery to provide the best support to the surgical team.

Maintaining a sterile environment is critical in orthopedic surgery. I follow strict protocols, including proper hand hygiene, wearing sterile gowns and gloves, and using sterile drapes and instruments. I meticulously check the sterilization of equipment and ensure the operating room is free from contaminants. I also monitor the surgical team for compliance with aseptic techniques and address any breaches immediately to minimize infection risks.

In high-pressure situations, I remain calm and focused by relying on my training and experience. I prioritize clear communication with the surgical team and anticipate the surgeon's needs to ensure smooth workflow. I stay organized, maintain situational awareness, and adapt quickly to unexpected changes. My ability to stay composed under pressure has helped me contribute effectively to successful outcomes in complex orthopedic surgeries.

I am highly skilled in using a wide range of orthopedic instruments, including drills, saws, retractors, and fixation devices. I am also experienced with specialized equipment like C-arms for imaging and navigation systems for precision. I ensure all tools are properly sterilized, assembled, and functioning before surgery. My familiarity with these instruments allows me to assist surgeons efficiently and respond promptly to their needs during procedures.

I stay current by attending workshops, conferences, and training sessions focused on orthopedic surgery. I also read industry journals and participate in online forums to learn about new techniques and technologies. Additionally, I collaborate with colleagues to share knowledge and best practices. This commitment to continuous learning ensures I can effectively support the surgical team with the latest advancements in orthopedic care.
