Spine Trauma 

   role of steroid injection 

Acetabular fracture - Tile classification

Compartments of foot, UE, LE

Milch Classification 

PFFD Classification

Fibular Deficiency

Pseduoarthrosis of Tibia

Tumor and Markers 

Both Bone Fractures 

  Apex volar -supination 

Scaphoid Fractures and management of complications 

EMG changes after nerve injuries 

Approaches to common fracture surgery 

Borders of carpal tunnel, 

Corona mortis

Supracondylar Fractures with absent pulsation

Medial Condyle Fractures 

Lateral Condyle fractures and classification

Foot injuries 

Calcaneum Fracture 

MC Fracture 

        Eaten-Besley  Pinning

        Miniplate fixation

        Bouquete fixation

Verdan Zone flexon Tendon injury 

 How do you fix a lag screw in Neck of femur fracture

steps of DCP plate fixation 

Compartment syndrome management

 Diastasis of Symphysis Pubis, explain the approach to manage this case at ER, Ward/ICU and OT 

Thomas tests

 What are the causes of non-union of a fracture ?

Bryant's triangle drawing and completely find the area of shortening in LLD 

LLD measurement , contracture measurement , Deformity measurement are  vital .But also know if there is compensation from body which ultimately minimizes the need of surgery in many areas. 

Radial/Median / Ulnar or mixed Nerve Palsy 

Brachial Plexus injuries

Shoulder rotator cuff tear and recurrent dislocation are important for short and long cases 

Pseudoarthrosis , tibial bowing , ligamentous laxity leading to deformity are tested 

ACL injuries 

Orthosis and Prosthesis have been favorite topics of my Professor. 

Instruments of Arthroscopy were tested at my time 

Steps of Hemiarthroplasty are important 

Rickets is important 

Bone tumor including metastasis are important

Long case of Failed / neglected IT fracture of femur , Osteonecrosis of femoral head are important 

I also faced Bowing of B/L tibia as a long case

I also faced a long case of traumatic Rotator cuff tear where i got a clean sweep.
