How to use operative videos strategically for the clinical exam

Watching full operative videos on YouTube is passive and time-consuming. Instead, I'd search for a specific procedure, watch only the surgical exposure and key steps, then pause and narrate aloud what comes next before resuming. For the FRCS clinical, being able to describe the surgical approach and steps for common procedures — ORIF of an ankle fracture, volar locking plate for distal radius, carpal tunnel release — is expected. This active narration method turned 2 hours of passive watching into genuinely high-yield revision.
