Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
Introduction to the Skeletal System01:20

Introduction to the Skeletal System

The skeletal system is the central framework of the body, consisting of different connective tissues: bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
Cartilage, a semi-rigid connective tissue found in regions such as...
Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification01:24

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

Bone formation, or ossification, begins around the sixth to seventh week of embryonic development. Most bones develop from a cartilaginous template through the process of endochondral ossification. Cartilage formation begins when clusters of mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. These chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an extracellular matrix that becomes encased in a membrane called the perichondrium. The resulting cartilage model provides a template that resembles the...
Chest Physiotherapy01:24

Chest Physiotherapy

Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Orthopaedic Surgery Training
  • Clinical Skills Assessment

Background:

  • Significant variability exists in orthopaedic examination teaching, causing confusion for medical students preparing for Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).
  • Formal preparation for teaching orthopaedic examinations is rarely provided to medical doctors, despite it being an expected role.
  • The Clinical Orthopaedic Teaching programme for Students (COTS) was developed to standardize orthopaedic examination knowledge for students and prepare senior students for future teaching roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Clinical Orthopaedic Teaching programme for Students (COTS) in enhancing medical students' knowledge and confidence in performing orthopaedic examinations.
  • To assess the impact of a near-peer teaching (NPT) model on student learning and tutor development within an orthopaedic context.
  • To provide a scalable model for improving orthopaedic examination training in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • A six-session, fortnightly program focusing on specific joint examinations.
  • Voluntary recruitment of both students and tutors for participation.
  • Utilized pre- and post-session multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to gauge knowledge improvement and anonymous feedback forms for qualitative assessment.

Main Results:

  • 98.4% of students found COTS relevant to their curriculum and met learning outcomes.
  • 96.7% of students endorsed the near-peer teaching (NPT) style for Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) preparation.
  • Significant improvements were observed in student confidence (p<0.001) and MCQ scores (p<0.001), alongside enhanced teaching skills and confidence reported by tutors (p=0.016).

Conclusions:

  • The Clinical Orthopaedic Teaching programme for Students (COTS) demonstrates the efficacy of a near-peer teaching approach for orthopaedic examinations.
  • The program yields significant benefits for both students, in terms of knowledge and confidence, and tutors, in skill development.
  • Pilot study findings are published to encourage the adoption and refinement of similar orthopaedic teaching programs at other institutions.
