Summary
There are several areas of pelvis/acetabulum that candidates need to be familiar with and other areas that are within a subspecialty interest.
Acetabular/pelvic radiology is usually discussed at the beginning of a viva and should be slickly and quickly answered so as to move on and to get onto the main testing area of the viva.
A basic appreciation of the various surgical approaches to fix an acetabular fracture is reasonable, but it is unlikely candidates will need to know this in great detail. Management of the open-book pelvis and the resuscitation around this is an A-list topic.
