Try a scenario from this pack
A real scenario, exactly as the panel would put it to you.
A 24-year-old delivery motorcyclist is brought to your emergency department 40 minutes after a high-speed collision with a car. He is alert, haemodynamically stable, and has an obviously deformed left leg with a 12 cm transverse wound over the anteromedial tibia, exposed bone, gross contamination with road grit, and a segmental tibial shaft fracture on plain films. The foot is warm with a palpable dorsalis pedis pulse, but he cannot dorsiflex the great toe. Your hospital has an orthopaedic on-call team but the plastic surgery service is at a sister hospital 30 minutes away. Walk the panel through your management from the moment you are called.
What the panel is assessing
Whether the candidate can run an open fracture as a time-critical, protocol-driven, multidisciplinary event rather than as an isolated bone problem. The panel is testing prioritisation, ortho-plastic decision-making, and the judgement to transfer rather than to improvise.
