AI Orthopaedic Finals Coach

Practise orthopaedic finals with an AI examiner.

Viva, OSCE, imaging and SBA practice with structured feedback and source-grounded teaching. You attempt first. Feedback comes second.

How it works

Attempt first. Feedback second. Remediate. Retest.

Every mode runs the same loop, because showing you a model answer you never attempted teaches almost nothing.

Step 1

Choose a mode

Viva, OSCE, imaging or SBA.

Step 2

Attempt before the answer

Retrieval comes first. Nothing is revealed until you commit.

Step 3

Structured feedback

Strengths, omissions and safety-critical gaps, kept separate.

Step 4

Remediate immediately

Two minutes of focused teaching on what you actually missed.

Step 5

Retest

A near-transfer question checks whether the principle stuck.

What the feedback looks like

Done well — you led with time course and asked about bladder function unprompted.
⚠️Incomplete — saddle sensation was mentioned but not characterised.
Missed — bilateral leg symptoms and new motor weakness.
🚨Safety-critical — you did not state the need for urgent imaging.
🎯One priority — always screen bilateral symptoms before closing the history.

Why that beats a model answer

A model answer tells you what a good answer contains. It does not tell you which part you left out, or why. Separating strengths from omissions from safety-critical gaps is what makes the next attempt different from the last one.

The single improvement priority is deliberate. Five corrections at once produce no change; one produces some.

Formative feedback and any scores are for learning only. They are not evidence of clinical competence and not an official marking scheme.

Why OrthoSG rather than a general assistant

You can already ask any chatbot about compartment syndrome.

That is not the hard part. The hard part is being examined on it, being told precisely what you missed, and being made to do it again.

Examination architecture

Built as an examiner, not an encyclopedia

Stations start, run and stop. Questions come one at a time. Answers are withheld until you commit.

Curation

Designed for orthopaedic finals

Scope, weighting and difficulty are set for finals, not for general orthopaedic interest.

Provenance

Source-grounded teaching

Claims are mapped to authoritative references, and gaps are flagged rather than filled with confident guesswork.

Feedback

Structured, not encouraging

Strengths, omissions, safety-critical gaps and one priority — kept visibly separate.

Safety

Safety-critical omissions are named

The things that would harm a patient are called out explicitly, not folded into general feedback.

Repetition

Made for returning

Weak topics come back. Stations get harder. The passport carries progress into your next session.

The OrthoSG Evidence Standard

Source grounded. Finals focused. Safety aware.

A visible quality standard, including the parts that are still in progress.

GROUNDEDClinical content is curated and progressively source verified against authoritative references, with claim-to-source mapping maintained.
REVIEWEDFaculty reviewed where feasible. Legacy material carries partial quality assurance only and is being corrected on a rolling basis.
RELEVANTScope, weighting and difficulty are set for orthopaedic finals rather than general interest.
SAFETY CHECKEDMust-not-miss presentations recur across modes, and safety-critical omissions are named explicitly in feedback.
CONTEXTUALThresholds are presented as contextual rather than universal rules, because most of them are.
LOCAL CHECKWhere a recommendation depends on institutional or Singapore-specific policy, it is marked for local verification rather than guessed.

OrthoSG is designed for formative learning and exam preparation. It does not replace clinical supervision, institutional protocols or professional judgement, and it does not certify clinical competence. Do not enter identifiable patient information — here or in the coach.

Topic coverage

Six domains, weighted towards finals.

Trauma & emergencies

Open fractures, compartment syndrome, hip fractures, pelvic injuries, dislocations, ankle and distal radius fractures, tibial plateau and femoral shaft injuries, neurovascular assessment.

Spine

Back-pain red flags, cauda equina syndrome, metastatic cord compression, spinal trauma, cervical myelopathy, radiculopathy, lumbar stenosis, inflammatory back pain.

Paediatrics

The limping child, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, SUFE, supracondylar fractures and other high-yield paediatric presentations.

Upper limb & hand

Shoulder instability, rotator cuff pathology, scaphoid injury and common upper-limb presentations.

Hip, knee & sports

Osteoarthritis, ligament and meniscal pathology, and common hip and knee presentations.

Infection & oncology

The hot joint, musculoskeletal infection, aggressive bone lesions and appropriate escalation.

Must-not-miss presentations sit in the top layer of the topic map, so they recur across vivas, stations, films and question sets.

Come back and continue

Progress you can carry into the next session.

Every topic you touch moves between three states as you retrieve it. Mastery does not persist automatically between chats, so the passport is copyable — paste it into a new session and the coach picks up exactly where you left off.

How to use it — four steps

  1. 1Ask for it, any time.
    Say “Give me my Revision Passport” mid-session or at the end of one.
  2. 2Read your status per topic.
    New, Learning or Secure — see the legend alongside — plus any safety-critical omissions logged that session.
  3. 3Copy the passport.
    One tap — the prompt box below does this for you.
  4. 4Paste it into your next session.
    Open OrthoSG, paste, and the coach interleaves your weakest topics first instead of starting cold.
Here is my Revision Passport. Continue my revision from my weakest topics.

Labels describe your revision state only. They are not a judgement about clinical competence.

FAQ

Questions worth asking first.

What does it cost?

Free to use with ChatGPT. Some advanced ChatGPT features, such as image upload and file analysis, may have separate usage limits set by ChatGPT. The core experience — viva, OSCE, SBAs, reasoning, remediation and revision planning — works through conversation alone.

Is this affiliated with my medical school?

No. It is an independent educational revision tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YLL, LKCMedicine, Duke-NUS or any healthcare institution.

Does it contain real examination questions?

No. Practice questions and stations are original formative revision material. They are not confidential examination content and not official marking schemes.

Can it predict my finals?

No. Curriculum mapping helps you prioritise revision. It is not an examination blueprint, a frequency prediction or a guarantee of what will be examined.

Does a good score mean I am competent?

No, and this matters. Scores from any mode, including voice, are formative only. They indicate how you performed on generated practice material. They are not evidence of clinical competence and do not certify anything.

Does it remember my progress?

Progress labels operate within the current session. Ask for a Revision Passport and paste it into your next chat to carry your progress forward.

Can I use it for real patients?

No. It is designed for education, not patient-specific or real-time clinical decisions. Use fictional or de-identified cases, never enter identifiable patient information, and follow your supervisors and local pathways.

What do I do if it tells me something wrong?

Report it. Use the and include the topic and the prompt you used. Reports of clinically unsafe content are reviewed by a clinician before any change is made.
