Summary

Fracture biomechanics can be tough-going for most candidates and yet it is definitely an A-list topic. Textbook chapters can be too complicated and detailed to understand whilst short note sections may appear incomplete as biomechanical assumptions have not been fully explained or the brevity of the notes makes them difficult to fully understand, never mind encouraging any higher-order thinking.

We hope this chapter uncomplicates a difficult area of the syllabus that a lot of candidates find offputting.
