Summary
Anatomy of the hip
The applied surgical anatomy of the hip joint is a subject with which you must be comfortable. Most examiners expect a trainee sitting the exit exam to know the anatomy and surgical approaches to the hip joint inside out. Two broad categories of question are asked:
Surgical approaches to the hip joint
Colour atlas photographs of hip joint anatomy (+/− bare labels).
Surgical approaches
It is odds-on that you will be asked about this during either the intermediate cases discussion or the basic science oral. It is not unusual to be asked in the adult elective orthopaedic or trauma oral.
