Summary

Preface to second edition

One of the aims of the first edition was to cover the whole FRCS (Tr & Orth) syllabus in one book, which had never previously been attempted. As such there were always going to be areas that could have read better. In addition, the exam format keeps changing with the long case format now dropped in favour of the intermediate cases. There was a feeling of unfinished business and a need for a second edition.

Whilst ‘Examination corner’ has proved extremely popular with candidates it has been criticized in some quarters. Rather than providing a list of topics asked in the orals we wanted to give a more detailed account of the interaction between candidate and examiner but without going into minutiae. Examination corner does not magically allow candidates to pass the exam but rather guides them better; it is not a substitute for the hard work and slog needed to get through the exam successfully.
