I am a an R3 plastic surgery resident in an integrated program, and I bought this book because we have monthly oral boards reviews and I wanted something to help prepare me for those monthly experiences, and get myself ready for the oral boards exam at the end of residency. These cases represent the "bread and butter" of plastic surgery and give a framework for how to approach these topics when they come up in an oral boards case, but are not exceptionally detailed and probably would not be great for use as a study guide for the InService exam or any written test or for case preparation.The cases are presented in picture format with a few lines of text giving basic information about mechanism of injury or patient concern and basic demographics. The next 1-2 pages goes over a description of the problem, how to work-up the patient (history and physical exam pearls), the basic tenets of treatment, details about surgical techniques, classification schemes (if applicable), possible complications, and what are called "critical errors" or things an oral boards examiner would fail you for.I use this as a means to quiz myself (I go through the steps before turning to the answer page), and I use it in my study group to quiz my fellow residents. After reading this book I no longer feel like an idiot when I get up in front of my program for my monthly grilling, and I get much better reviews. I think this will help a lot with oral boards preparation.
Finally a review book for the oral boards that is organized, succinct and presents exactly what you will be seeing in your unknown rooms.
great for oral boards, very quick and concise. literally 1 unknown case from this book was the exact same picture.
