Orthopedics as a subject has grown exponentially. The trainee not only has to learn theoretical knowledge, but also to acquire psychomotor skills with a clear understanding of its rationale. There exists a lacuna in the current educational resource material on practical training subjects. The learning resources about clinical/practical importance are not being updated and available as one book. This book has attempted to fill the vacuum. The book is divided into eight sections—Ward Round, Instruments and Implants, Orthopaedic Radiographs and Review of Imaging Modalities, Table of Orthosis and Prosthesis, Bone, Joint Model and Specimen, Orthopaedic Surgical Approaches, Review of Orthopaedic Surgeries, and Orthopaedic Imaging and Operation Theatre Principles. Each section has been broken into multiple subject titles, and each subject title is given theoretical knowledge, practical application with rationale. This format will not only improve the understanding of practical procedures performed day-to-day by orthopaedic trainees but also improve the treatment outcomes.
