Clinical diagnosis in orthopedic pain conditions can be mysterious, especially when many conditions mimic each other in the same region. An unusual manifestation delays diagnosis, and increases complications, worsening the patient’s condition. This book highlights the need for a change in our method of clinical practice, both in primary care and specialist care. Dr. Kumaravel has updated methods in diagnosing orthopedic conditions and has structured the chapters so that in a region of pain, both local and transmitted pain are considered. A simple approach of considering the different conditions in tables and flow charts will help young orthopedic surgeons to discover what they are dealing with. i.e., If there is pain, then where did it arise? What is the list of conditions one needs to consider? What can it mimic? What do they need to be differentiated from? Never missing a diagnosis can’t be more emphasized. Because knowing what condition one is dealing with solves 99% of the problem, while treating it is only the remaining 1%. Knowledge is power. Readers can apply these to their patients and plan the treatment accordingly. This well-structured book for orthopedic pain makes learning orthopedics entertaining and assists clinicians in giving correct and quick care.

Medical students often feel they understand the theory behind the clinical aspect of medicine but seldom have enough chance to put what they learn into practice. In addition, clinical examinations pose a challenge to students who may be technically and theoretically excellent, but who have poor examination technique. It is quite common for students to lack understanding of how they will be marked, how much emphasis to place upon certain actions or how much detail is expected of them. 'OSCE CASES WITH MARK SCHEMES' is intended to fill this gap. It provides OSCE mark schemes to reflect the real OSCE experience, by encouraging self assessment when practicing the clinical scenarios. The book includes chapters on communication skills, medical ethics, explanation stations, paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology subjects which are sometimes neglected elsewhere. All four authors have taken part in medical student teaching and OSCE examinations. They understand what will earn marks in the actual exam. All the OSCE scenarios are from stations previously examined in the UK's top medical schools. This book prepares the student for what the actual finals exam will be like.
