You will undoubtedly be given constructive criticism during your orthopedic surgery residency. Sometimes the feedback will not be delivered in a respectful manner, while other times, it will. The interviewers want to see that you can handle any feedback and realize that no matter how constructive criticism is delivered, it is an opportunity for you to grow professionally. Describe how you deal with constructive criticism and use it as a learning opportunity.
