Written by highly experienced clinicians and examiners, this thoroughly revised and expanded second edition is an essential text for orthopaedic trainees preparing for FRCS (Tr&Orth) examination. Highly illustrated and containing over 1,000 single best answer questions (SBAs), it is a high-quality, useful revision tool. Rather than promoting simple recall like most orthopaedic MCQ texts, SBAs encourage higher order thinking and judgement which will support more comprehensive revision and understanding for trainees. This edition builds on key features from the first, containing new and updated exam questions that cover the spectrum of the orthopaedic syllabus. This includes difficult subject areas such as biomechanics, prosthetics/orthotics, anatomy and statistics. The text also contains two new chapters covering the impact of ethics and diseases on orthopaedic surgery. Crucially, this edition is tailored to post pandemic examination and deals with the more difficult isosteric ambiguous types of SBA questions that often appear in the real test.
