Quick Answer
Orthopedics carries 5–7% weightage in NEET-PG & INICET — approximately 20–28 questions out of 300. The highest-yield topics are Fractures — common fractures and their nerve/vessel injuries, Orthopaedic infections — acute osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, Bone tumours — osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, giant cell tumour, and orthopaedics questions in neet-pg & inicet use clinical vignettes with x-ray findings and mechanism of injury.
These are the topics that have appeared most frequently in NEET-PG & INICET papers across the last 10 sessions. Cover them first — together they account for roughly 70% of the Orthopedics marks distribution.
Orthopaedics questions in NEET-PG & INICET use clinical vignettes with X-ray findings and mechanism of injury. Common fracture-nerve injury associations (e.g., spiral fracture of humerus → radial nerve palsy) are tested as clinical scenarios. Bone tumour radiology descriptions are high-yield.
For fractures, create a table: fracture type → associated nerve → associated vessel → clinical finding. For bone tumours, know the classic age group, X-ray appearance (sunburst, onion-peel, soap-bubble), and treatment.
Confusing similar conditions — CTEV vs. metatarsus adductus vs. pes planus, or DDH grading. Make clear comparison tables for these commonly confused paediatric orthopaedic conditions.
