Summary
Introduction
This can be a tedious and dry area of orthopaedics to learn but, for various reasons, examiners are being encouraged to ask candidates more questions on surgical approaches than ever before.
In real life it is a very important practical part of a practising orthopaedic surgeon's workload. The irony is that one would usually read up an unfamiliar or forgotten approach before undertaking the required surgery. It has been suggested that at least 10 minutes of the basic surgical oral should be spent discussing surgical approaches and anatomy with candidates.
