EBOT / FEBOT · Section 2

Structured oral practice

The five Section 2 oral sessions of the European Board exam, each rehearsable as a real examiner table — read the case, answer aloud, then reveal the model response, traps and follow-ups.

Spoken viva cases
794

Across all five EBOT oral sessions

Imaging cases
763

Image-led ISAWE cases to interpret aloud

Oral sessions
5

Mapped to the UEMS / EFORT Section 2 structure

301 cases

Oral 1 · 30-minute structured oral

Upper Limb (incl. Hand)

Shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand cases questioned to fellowship level: examination findings, the imaging in front of you, classifications and the management you would defend.

Covers: Hand & wrist, shoulder and elbow — elective and trauma

444 cases

Oral 2 · 30-minute structured oral

Lower Limb

Adult reconstruction and degenerative pathology of the lower limb: arthroplasty decisions, foot and ankle deformity, sports injuries and the trauma woven through them.

Covers: Hip & knee reconstruction, foot & ankle, sports — elective and trauma

166 cases

Oral 3 · 30-minute structured oral

Spine

Cervical and thoracolumbar pathology from radiculopathy to deformity, red-flag presentations and the spinal trauma that the European oral expects you to triage confidently.

Covers: Degenerative, deformity, infection, tumour and spinal trauma

225 cases

Oral 4 · 30-minute structured oral

Paediatric Orthopaedics

Developmental dysplasia, deformity, neuromuscular disease and paediatric trauma, with the examination cues and age-based decision-making examiners listen for.

Covers: Developmental, neuromuscular, paediatric trauma and the limping child

Most under-prepared421 cases

Oral 5 · 30-minute structured oral

Basic Sciences

The principles session: implant and tribology science, tissue healing, infection and the bone-tumour pathology that underpins every subspecialty answer.

Covers: Biomechanics, biomaterials, healing biology, microbiology and tumour pathology

How the EBOT orals work here

A rehearsal table, not an official scoring simulator

The European Board Section 2 is five 30-minute structured orals — Upper Limb, Lower Limb, Spine, Paediatrics and Basic Sciences — built on clinical and imaging cases. Each session above opens a focused set from that area: read the case like a candidate, commit to an answer aloud, then reveal the model response, examiner traps and follow-ups. This is an independent study aid mapped to the UEMS / EFORT structure — not an official EBOT assessment.
