4th Year
Attention!
Contrary to what was previously announced in the department’s requirements and on the website, ONLY 4 academic hours of absence can be accepted in Traumatology for 4th year students during their Traumatology block of 5 ½ days, based on the 39/2023. (V.25.) Semmelweis University Organizational and Operating Regulations amended by university’s Senate – III. BOOK Student Requirements – III.2. PART Academic and Examination Regulations, Section 29. § 4, which states: „ ………absences must be assessed together for lectures, seminars and practices requiring attendance, and may not exceed 10% during the block schedule of 4th-5th year Faculty of Medicine students…”
The date of signing the attendance sheets for the given day is the responsibility of the hospitals’ department.
Any student who, for whatever reason, needs to be absent for a maximum of 4 academic hours, but whose attendance has not yet been checked that day, should notify the teacher that he/she wishes to sign the attendance sheet and indicate the exact time spent at the department on that day (the exact time of arrival and departure).

During the course of the Traumatology block practices, students will participate in and observe trauma, orthopedic and sports surgery operations, cast splinting, wound dressing, outpatient care, septic complications, physical therapy, and patient ward. During the practices, students will receive some interactive seminar-type topic-based teaching, in a similar manner in which residents are introduced to fractures and trauma of specific body regions. Students will be able to observe the „pathway” of a patient from the ambulance to admitting at the emergency department to the operating theater to the follow up of the patient in the outpatient clinic.
By the end of the practice, students will be expected to know how to examine a trauma patient, identify fractures on radiographs and differentiate between intra and extraarticular fractures, decide between operative vs. conservative treatment, know the ABCDE algorithm for immediate care of polytraumatized patients, apply bandages, splints and casts (including Gilchrist bandage, Desault bandage, forearm backslab cast splint, Cramer splint)
On the first day of practice, students will receive a mini presentation topic, which shall be presented to the class on the final day of the practice.
The following main topics will be addressed during the practices and asked for in the exam
General Traumatology. Soft tissue injuries. Thermal injuries. Wound management.
Fracture management. Bone healing
Immediate care and major accidents (Multiple injuries, shock, major disasters)
Thoracic and abdominal trauma
Neurotrauma. Spinal, cranial and facial trauma
Pelvic injuries
Femoral fractures
Fractures of the tibia and fibula. Injuries of the ankle, talus, calcaneus and the foot
Knee Injuries
Cartilage repair, ligament surgeries
Injuries of the upper extremity
Hand injures
Pediatric trauma
Management of open fractures. Septic and non-septic complications in Traumatology
Endoprosthetic replacement possibilities in Traumatology. Periprosthetic fractures and complications
We will not present all the theoretical topics during the practice, but there still may be MCQ questions on the test pertaining these topics, which are uploaded on Moodle or in the textbook.
