Postgraduate Orthopaedics

Successfully navigate key topics required to master the FRCS (Tr & Orth) exam with confidence, using this thoroughly revised second edition.

The must-have book for candidates preparing for the oral component of the FRCS (Tr and Orth).

What do you need to do before sitting the written component of the FRCS (Tr and Orth) examination? Practice, practice, practice. Sadly the MCQs and EMQs in the actual examination are not this straightforward. This book will help the orthopaedic surgeon preparing for the written part of the examination to be ready to face the task ahead. The MCQs and EMQs appear in the same format as the examination and cover the syllabus topics. Divided into subspecialty chapters, including trauma and basic science, this book is ideal for use alongside a revision plan. The questions have detailed answers and selected references, arming readers with the knowledge they need to approach the topic correctly. Written by recent, successful examination candidates, this question-and-answer-based revision guide is ideal preparation for the FRCS (Tr and Orth) examination as well as being helpful for other postgraduate orthopaedic exams.

This newly updated and expanded second edition brings together the information that every trainee needs to know when faced with paediatric cases in their clinical practice and the FRCS (Tr and Orth) examination, as well as the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, FRACS (Orth), FRCSC (Orth) and the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery examinations. The content is organised according to body regions, with step-by-step guides to common paediatric orthopaedic operations. This new edition includes colour illustrations, additional clinical photographs, charts and radiographs, and updated management guidelines. Tips, tricks and avoidance of common pitfalls guide candidates to success in their examinations, and the book gives particular attention to areas of the syllabus that trainees find particularly challenging. The concise, evidence-based chapters are written by practising paediatric orthopaedic surgeons to reflect the core knowledge expected of a newly appointed consultant. This is the essential revision guide for the paediatric component of the FRCS (Tr and Orth) and other orthopaedic examinations.

This concise postgraduate textbook of Pediatric Orthopedics focuses firmly on treatment, allowing trainee orthopedic surgeons to make an informed contribution during their Pediatrics rotation and to speak confidently about the approach to individual patients during their specialty exams. While other textbooks concentrate on theory and the comprehensive presentation of all treatment options, Paediatric Orthopaedics: A system of decision-making provides detailed practical insight into available treatments and a strategy for determining which treatment to follow in particular circumstances. Its aim is thereby to provide the gold standard for practice in the field and to be the key practical source of reference for trainees.

This book is a practical revision aid for postgraduate orthopaedic trainees preparing for examinations. Based on 12 years’ previous examinations, this second edition has been fully revised and updated in line with current curricula.

Questions on bone and joint disorders and paediatric orthopaedics are also included. Figures and flowcharts help explain anatomy and algorithms and approaches to treatment methods. Also included with this edition, is online access to video lectures, notes and self assessment. The previous edition (9789389587098) published in 2019.
