Abstract
Abstract: The vice chair position in orthopaedic surgery departments has become increasingly prevalent over the last 10 years. Prior to this development, there were few, if any, vice chairs to support the chairperson position. The vice chair role has increased in importance as a result of increasing practice size and the increasing complexity of the health-care environment. The goal of this review was to summarize the current status of the vice chair position within orthopaedic surgery departments and to share the variety of vice chair roles that exist today.
