Following the success of the first Barts and The London Trust Intensive Basic Orthopaedic Science course in October 2007, please find below links to downloadable pdfs of a selection of talks that were given on the course. Most of the high-quality images have been removed for faster download time and for copyright reasons.
The pdfs will be most useful for those whoa have attended the course or are planning to attend it in the future for preparation.
Note that the course itself is highly intensive and involves a lot of interaction - candidates will gain most by being quizzed and examined on the courses but feel free to use this material in your preparation for the exam.
