From the Editor’s Desk - 5 features on OE you may not be using, but should…

OE offers several tools that can be easily integrated into daily practice, beginning with quick CME credit collection for anyone reading ACE Reports and completing brief learning questions. Many members already have unclaimed credits waiting. Weekly OE Polls provide a simple way to weigh in on emerging orthopaedic topics, while PeerView highlights what colleagues across different professions are reading. The refreshed Reading List feature allows reports to be saved for later, and sharing options keep useful content circulating. Comment sections on ACE Reports and OE Originals invite open discussion, helping the community reflect on study impact and identify gaps where further research may be needed.
