In 2023, Orthopaedic registrar job numbers are estimated to be between 65 and 131. In 2022 there were 142 jobs that interview candidates were successfully appointed to.

During the application process each deanery releases the preliminary number of jobs they have available. This varies considerably and is often not confirmed until the last minute so all published numbers are subject to change. Applicants then have to rank all the jobs in order of preference. Jobs are given out based on how well candidates score at interview with highest ranked candidates getting their first ranked jobs.

The preliminary Orthopaedic registrar job numbers available in each region for 2023 are shown in the table below. As mentioned, these are all subject to change!
