Summary
Introduction
There is a large recommended syllabus from the British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) examination. This syllabus is very detailed and comprehensive, and if you learned everything on it you would have no time to revise any other subject. Most candidates are not intending to become foot and ankle surgeons. It is difficult to know exactly how much detail is needed to pass the exam.
Whilst a candidate may not be expected to know all the details of every condition, he or she should at least be prepared to answer questions in general on most conditions and in particular on the more common foot and ankle disorders.
