Back to basics on knees, with sessions on examination, anatomy & biomechanics, and basic sciences around the knee.
Aimed at the knowledge and skills required for FRCS
Join us for 'Knee Term Session 1 - Back to Basics.' This interactive session will enhance your expertise on knee anatomy, biomechanics, and basic sciences revolving around the knee. Perfectly curated for FRCS aspirants, our workshop mentorship helps ensure that your skills and knowledge are precisely aligned with what's required for your upcoming assessments. Don't miss this valuable opportunity to learn, grow and achieve your FRCS aspirations.
Understand the basic anatomy and biomechanics of the knee: By the end of the session, participants should be able to describe the structure of the knee, including the bones, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and cartilage, and explain how these components work together to enable movement and provide stability.
Perform a comprehensive knee examination: Participants should learn the necessary techniques for a thorough knee examination, including assessment of pain, range of motion, joint stability, and possible signs of injury.
Understand the basic sciences related to the knee: Participants will be expected to compile knowledge on the basic processes and principles associated with the functioning of the knee, including physiological processes, biochemical interactions, and pathological conditions.
Gain familiarization with common knee-related pathologies: Participants should be able to identify common knee problems and possibly recognize key symptoms and signs. They should also develop an understanding of when referral to a specialist might be appropriate.
Apply the knowledge to clinical situations: At the end of the session, participants should be able to apply the gained knowledge in diagnosing and managing knee conditions, helping them prepare for the Fellowship of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons (FRCS) examination.
