Summary
Section 2 of the basic science (Tr & Orth) syllabus is a large topic, difficult to grasp at face value as it appears quite removed from the average orthopaedic surgeon’s practice. However, it pervades many aspects of clinical practice and therefore must be understood.
It contains large sections of A-list topics that just need to be learnt as well as possible, otherwise marks will be thrown away.
