Fellowship of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons

I'm your host, Sessy Hotonu, Pediatric Surgery Registrar based in Glasgow.

We've got another continuation of the FRCS Paeds series, and today I'm joined by Mr. Michael Canty.

Now, Michael is an incredible neurosurgeon working in Glasgow with a subspecialty interest in pediatrics.

And he treats a whole manner of things from trauma to acquired conditions in neurosurgery.

And he's here to demystify one of our shared conditions, spina bifida, and also talk a little bit about hydrocephalus because as many of you, myself included, who have just taken the FRCS Paeds know that every once in a while there's a question about a shunt that we don't know anything about.

So hopefully by the end of this, we'll know a little bit more.

Welcome, Michael.

So, um, I don't know.

Welcome back to The Deep Dive.

All right, if you're an orthopedic resident, deep in prep for those postgraduate exams, FRCS, fellowship, you know the drill, then you know it's about nailing the crucial details.

Today, we're diving deep, high-yield style into medial collateral ligament injuries, MCL injuries of the knee.

And this is really tailored for you, pulling out the exam-ready stuff from some excellent material.

Specifically, we're working from the Ortho Made Simple notes you can find on mokeengren.sg.

These were put together by Dr. Moh Keang Ren, who's a sports surgeon over at National University Hospital in Singapore.

He got his FRCS in orthopedics from Edinburgh, so, uh, definitely knows his stuff.

Exactly.

Welcome to this deep dive.

If you're an orthopedic resident gearing up for those really tough postgraduate exit exams, the FRCS or a fellowship equivalent, then, you know, success really hangs on nailing the specifics, the high yield technical stuff.

Absolutely.

Every detail needs to be right there, ready to recall under pressure.
