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.

Across all five EBOT oral sessions
Image-led ISAWE cases to interpret aloud
Mapped to the UEMS / EFORT Section 2 structure
336 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
497 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
184 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
244 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-prepared359 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.
