Biomechanics for Postgraduate Orthopaedic Exams

Description

This is a transcript of a webinar conducted by Professor Emad Saweeres, organized by Orthopedic Research UK and Orthopedic Academy, focusing on orthopedic biomechanics in preparation for the FRCS exam. The session begins with introductions and acknowledgments, emphasizing the professor's extensive background in orthopedic education and training.



The main lecture covers basic principles of biomechanics, Newton's laws of motion, and their applications in analyzing forces in orthopedics. Participants are encouraged to engage actively through questions and interaction during the presentation. Professor Saweeres discusses topics such as static and dynamic forces, the mechanical properties of materials, free body diagrams, and various orthopedic mechanisms, including joint reactions and moments. Throughout the event, there are indications to visit upcoming courses and resources offered by the Academy, reinforcing their commitment to educator training and orthopedic knowledge sharing.



As discussions progress, participants inquire about various topics, reflecting on common exam questions and clinical applications of biomechanics. The structure emphasizes open dialogue, encouraging attendees to seek clarification and deepen their understanding of biomechanical principles. The session serves both as an educational experience and a platform for interactive learning among orthopedic professionals.
