“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind,
people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may
cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy
anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the
world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see,
in the end, it is between you and God.

FOREWORD
Despite the availability of more lucrative opportunities to the current
generation in business and technology, the brightest of the young generation
of any country opts for medicine as a career. Orthopedics happens to be one
of the most sought after clinical discipline, fully aware of the long years of
arduous training involved for success in the profession. It is just natural that
the best amongst the admission seekers would be able to enroll themselves
for the limited seat available in Orthopedics in the teaching and training
institute. To maintain objectivity and transparency, admissions based upon
objective MCQ type of questions is the best of all assessment systems,
granting that no assessment system is really “perfect”. This book is intended
to help the student to quickly review the subject for MCQ examinations. The
table of contents of the book covers the wide landscape of orthopedic
discipline.
Dr Apurv Mehra over the last 15 years has been trying to analyze the
system of MCQ type examinations, collate and organize the material for
understanding at the graduate level. This book would help the prospective
candidates to channelize their thinking process for the admission tests. The
question-answer style of various sections would also help the prospective

faculty (who compose the MCQs) to standardize the frame word for
constructing the question with least ambiguity and for appropriate level of
MBBS graduates. It is a laudable effort by Dr Apurv Mehra, and it is a must-
read for the admission seekers.
