Main description:

The successful FRCS Trauma and Orthopaedics Viva returns for a second edition, now including over 95 viva topics. Completely updated to include current clinical management guidelines, and exam hot topics, the book is brought to you again from the team behind the highly successful Oxford revision course.

Based on the principle that viva candidates improve their technique by observing and learning from others, the editor team have created a best-practice formula for dealing with the individual scenarios. The book is set out in a simple format and every viva topic is introduced by an initial clinical photograph, radiograph, or diagram. Sets of questions follow underneath with the suggested answers on the next page. This allows the reader to work in pairs, groups, or on their own.

Based on the Oxford revision course, this book is already a tried and tested revision tool, making it ideal preparation for the FRCS Trauma and Orthopaedics Viva exam.
