Two fully-documented clinical case-reports will be assessed independently in both the written- and oral format by two examiners. Equal weighting will be applied to both components of the assessment and grades will be assigned for the operative- and management techniques undertaken, the outcome of treatment and the objective assessment of the case in addition to the verbal defence of the cases and the quality of the presentation and the clarity and relevance of images provided.
