Critically review the evidence base for The management of patellar instability in a 15yr old female gymnast
The aim of these assessments is to develop skills in:
Critical analysis of the role of assessment and management techniques used in the management of complex orthopaedic lower limb conditions.
Researching & utilising the evidence base
Being discerning about the relevance of literature with regard to quality of the methodology of the studies used<\/p>\n
Lower Limb Orthopaedics Module Assessment Guidelines 2014<\/p>\n
You will be assessed formatively throughout the module and summatively at the end. This document outlines the expectations of both. The table below indicates the learning outcomes of the module and how they are assessed.
Learning Outcomes Assessment<\/p>\n
1. Critically reflect on their current proficiencies and plan their personal and professional development Formative
2. Critically analyse the structure and function of the lower limb in the assessment and management of a range of patients with common clinical conditions Formative
Summative
3. Critically evaluate abnormal movement patterns (including posture and alignment) related to the lower limb using biomechanical principles Formative
Summative
4. Synthesise principles of preoperative, intraoperative and post-operative care and apply these to relevant orthopaedic conditions in a holistic client centred manner. Summative
Formative

Formative Assessment (FA)<\/p>\n
Formative Assessment will be used throughout the module in the form of short assignments, wikis (production of a document through group work), on line discussion boards and quizzes. All FA will be graded, but although this mark will not contribute to the overall mark for credit for the module, it will be formative in developing skills for your summative assessment and will therefore have an impact on your mark. You are expected to do a minimum of 75% of these.<\/p>\n
The aim of these assessments is to develop skills in:
\u2022 Critical analysis of the role of assessment and management techniques used in the management of complex orthopaedic lower limb conditions.
\u2022 Researching & utilising the evidence base
\u2022 Being discerning about the relevance of literature with regard to quality of the methodology of the studies used
All launch and completion dates of these formative assessments are provided in the on-line learning section of Blackboard.<\/p>\n
Summative Assessment (SA)<\/p>\n
There are two components to the assessment:<\/p>\n
\u2022 3000 word assignment representing 60% of the module mark
\u2022 20 minute OSCE representing 40% of the module mark<\/p>\n
The pass mark is 50%. Students must pass both components of the assessment in order to pass the module.
Assignment Title<\/p>\n
Choose ONE case of the following options;<\/p>\n
Critically review the evidence base for ONE of the following;
i) The management of patellar instability in a 15yr old female gymnast
ii) The management of ATFL Gd III injury of the ankle in 24yr old a semi-professional footballer
iii) The management of a labral tear of the hip in a 34yr old kick boxer<\/p>\n
Ensure you apply the evidence to the particular case scenario you choose.
The student must demonstrate;
a) Evidence of debate in a wide range of relevant knowledge in the chosen scenario.
b) Knowledge of critique of the literature.
c) Critical evaluation of the underpinning theory.
d) Accurate referencing within the text and reference list in line with the current University guidance
Your assignment should be typed, double-spaced with 1\u201d margins on either side. You should use 12pt Arial. A \u201cheader or footer\u201d should be inserted on each page with your university number only. Your name should not appear on your submission.<\/p>\n
Marking Grid
The assignment will be marked in association to the marking guidelines using the assignment marking grid (See Assessment\/marking grid on Blackboard)
The sections below relate to the corresponding columns on the module assessment marking grid. It is recommended this is referred to when reading the information below.<\/p>\n
Knowledge<\/p>\n
When marking this section, consideration will be given to your knowledge of:
\u2022 Key themes pertinent to your chosen topic (assignment) area
\u2022 Subject area in relation to orthopaedic & trauma management
\u2022 Current clinical practice<\/p>\n
Cognitive processes<\/p>\n
When marking this section, consideration will be given to your ability to:
\u2022 Relate the evidence appropriately to your assignment
\u2022 Carry out systematic critical comment on appropriately selected evidence
\u2022 Critically debate alternative views of the subject area
\u2022 Critically evaluate the validity of the evidence and its significance to practice in orthopaedic management and future research i.e. answer the \u2018so what?\u2019 question. Is the research you have studied valid enough for you to change your practice as a result of the evidence you have read \u2013if so why, if not why not? Isolated critique which is not then used to justify or develop discussion is discouraged.
\u2022 Synthesise evidence to come to an informed objective conclusion regarding the quality and current state of the evidence base
\u2022 Consider how the evidence relates to clinical practice<\/p>\n
Referencing and Using Evidence<\/p>\n
When marking this section, consideration will be given to your ability to:
\u2022 Justify your literature search & inclusion of literature. Rationalisation of inclusion of literature is as important as the number of references used.
\u2022 A guide to minimum amount of literature to be used (i.e. for pass in 50-59
\u2022 Correct referencing throughout the text in British Harvard style refer to University regulations
\u2022 Produce an accurate reference list in British Harvard style using current university guidelines
\u2022 Use a wide range of both primary (direct from research papers) and secondary sources (Systematic reviews\/meta analyses, books, web references).
\u2022 Use a range of appropriate literature in terms of currency
\u2022 Identify key papers and guidelines relating to the theme<\/p>\n

The aim of the OSCE is to enable students to demonstrate advanced clinical assessment and treatment procedures in the assessment and management of complex orthopaedic lower limb disorders .<\/p>\n
You are required to undertake 4 OSCE stations, one for each of the core skills identified in the module:
\u2022 Clinical Assessment
\u2022 Imaging
\u2022 Surgery
\u2022 Therapy<\/p>\n
