Description
Book SynopsisThe third edition of Postgraduate Orthopaedics has been fully updated, revised and expanded to meet the challenges of a continually changing exam format, providing detailed core orthopaedic knowledge and insight into tactics and pre-exam planning to increase a candidate's chance of success. Written by a core of authors chosen specifically for their knowledge of the key factors for exam success, this edition includes more illustrations and diagrams and additional exam-focused material for the trickier areas of the syllabus. The trauma chapter has been separated into four distinct sections to improve the overall trauma content. The book also includes a dedicated chapter on what books to read, reflecting the fact that this area has become more complicated in recent years, and an applied basic science chapter, which focuses on basic science viva questions in detail. This guide continues to evolve and has established itself as the definitive text for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) exam.
Trade Review'I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to pass the FRCS (Tr & Orth) exam. The book is easy to read and uses different methods to explain scenarios/conditions (e.g. standard text regarding a condition; candidate and examiner Q & A sessions with previous questions and topics that could be expected in the exam). The illustrations and the radiographs are of good quality and are relevant. This book is an excellent book and essential for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) exam.'
