Classes are being led in the form of seminars and tutorials. Seminars are purposing the common discussing on general issues referring of diagnostic methods and the treatment applied to orthopaedics and traumatology, and detailed of referring etiologies, symptomatology, diagnostics and methods of the treatment of congenital and acquired diseases of the hip joint, of the backbone, the foot, congenital and acquired disorder of axis of both the length of lower limbs, diseases and injuries of the knee joint, degenerative changes of the hip joint at adult people, injuries of the upper limb, the pelvis and the lower limb, injuries of the spine, diseases and injuries of the hand and damage to peripheral nerves, inflammations of non-specific and peculiar bones and joints, primary and metastatic tumors of bones.
However during exercises, in smaller (4-6 person) subgroups, discussed issues during seminars are being practical presented about the form by the assistant during reinspecting patients both hospitalized in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology and treated in Hospital Outpatient Orthopedic and Traumatologic Ambulatory. Students have the opportunity to watch also live orthopedic surgery operations. Tutorials are enabling the student to purchase practical skills referring to the diagnostic procedure in the musculoskeletal diseases, as well as purchasing of useful knowledge of posibility to treat them, both on the basic like on the advanced level.

Assessment criteria

The final mark in the subject of orthopedics and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system is a weighted average of the following ratings:

A. The entrance test, checking knowledge of the anatomy of musculo-skeletal system and general knowledge about the physiology of locomotor system, will be taken during 2 weeks before the classes will start. The credit of the entrance test will be confirmed by assistants' inscription in students' individual cards latest in the first day of classes. The individual students' cards can be collected from secretary office by group's foreman on 2 weeks before classes will start. Max. number of points – 0-8pts. >60%;
B. Continuous evaluation (the current preparation for classes and the activity). Max. number of points – 0-4pts.; > 50%; K1 – K6;
C. Practical test according to orthopaedic physical examination. Max. number of points – 0-20pts.; > 60%; W3-W4; U1 - U4
D. Exit test with the assistant. Max. number of points – 0-8pkt.; >60% W1 – W6; U1 - U8
E. The subject final exam. Max. number of points – 0-60pts. >60% W1 – W6; U1 - U8
The condition to be admitted to the examination is achived the credit of classes. It is necessary for credit to collect min. 23pts.
