Summary
Orthotics and prosthetics is a subject often neglected during revision, but is an important topic because various aspects may be incorporated into other topics, such as gait, hand injuries or amputations.
This chapter attempts to cover the concepts that have been tested previously in the FRCS (Tr & Orth) exam. The questions and answers provide a high-order thinking framework to build on your answer in the exam oral tables.
Candidates are likely to be shown a clinical photograph, followed by a starting question. You are not normally marked on the starting question – it serves to melt the ice and give you confidence to get going.
