Postgraduate Orthopaedics. Mcqs and Emqs for the Frcs (Tr and Orth)

Description

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.

Features

• Written by recent exam candidates, the standard of questions reflects the actual exam, allowing readers to test the level of their knowledge accurately
• The book is divided according to subspecialty so the questions can easily be used as part of a detailed revision plan
• Detailed explanations are given in the answers making this a revision guide, not just a question-and-answer book
