As such, the ethical standards do mention the fact that the orthopedic surgeon should review medical records to give his opinion. This information is provided in the Code of Ethics published by American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.

In the Code of Ethics and Professionalism for Orthopedic Surgeons published on website http://www.aaos.org/about/papers/ethics/code.asp  it is mentioned that:

                  “In providing testimony, the orthopedic surgeon should ensure that the testimony provided is non-partisan, scientifically correct, and clinically accurate”.
