Orthopaedics

Independent work with literature, Internet resources and materials from e-studies (according to the lesson topics). At the end of the course, an evaluation of the course is provided by filling in a questionnaire.

Assessment: a test in each lesson (not graded). At the end of the course, a colloquium (examination of practical manipulations, formulation of a radiological diagnosis) and a Test in the interpretation of a clinical case. Assessment criteria for the colloquium: Criteria for the colloquium assessment “pass”: 1. Knowledge and skills of the clinical tests in orthopaedics: 1.1. lecturer determines, which two clinical tests student shall demonstrate; 1.2. student shall perform these two clinical tests correctly and precisely; 1.3. if the two clinical tests are performed correctly and precisely, student gets the assessment “pass”; 1.4. if some of two clinical tests are not performed correctly and precisely, student gets the assessment “fail”. 2. Knowledge and skills of the transport immobilization and desmurgy: 2.1. lecturer determines, which localization shall be immobilized or bandaged; 2.2. student shall perform the transport immobilization or bandage correctly and precisely; 2.3. if the transport immobilization or bandage is performed correctly and precisely, student gets the assessment “pass”; 2.4. if the transport immobilization or bandage is not performed correctly and precisely, student gets the assessment “fail”. 3. Knowledge and skills of the evaluation of the movements in the joints, length and girth of the extremities: 3.1. lecturer determines the localization, in which movements in the joints, length or girth of the extremity shall be performed; 3.2. student shall perform the measurements correctly and precisely; 3.3. if the measurements are performed correctly and precisely, student gets the assessment “pass”; 3.4. if the measurements are not performed correctly and precisely, student gets the assessment “fail”. 4. Formulation of radiological diagnosis 4.1. the lecturer demonstrates a radiograph of a bone fracture or orthopedic disease 4.2. the student formulates the radiological diagnosis 4.3. if the radiological diagnosis is formulated correctly - rating "passed" 4.4. if the radiological diagnosis is formulated incorrectly or critically incomplete - the assessment is "failed". 4. The final grade for the colloquium is determined in a 10-point system, where each section accounts for approximately 25%. 5. If the final assessment for the colloquium is “fail”, student shall agree with lecturer about date and time for the colloquium repeatedly. The final test of the course is the Clinical case interpretation test. The lecturer demonstrates a clinical case of an injury or orthopedic disease with specific questions, the answers of which make up the percentage of the final assessment of the test: 100-96%-10 (with distinction) 95-86%-9 (excellent) 85-76%-8 (very good) 75-66%-7 (good) 65-60%-6 (almost good) 59-55%-5 (satisfactory) 54-50%-4 (almost satisfactory) 49% and below - failed test, must be retaken according to RSU Study Regulations. The cumulative final grade of the course is calculated according to the formula: (Colloquium rating+Test rating): 2= Course rating The final grade of the course can be increased by 0.5 points if at least two guest lectures have been attended.
