Top 10 High-Yield Musculoskeletal Topics

Focus your revision on these frequently tested MSK topics to maximise your score.

Musculoskeletal is the largest domain in the written assessment, so a strong MSK score lifts your overall result significantly.

Prioritise: shoulder special tests, the concave-convex rule, capsular patterns, tendon and ligament injuries, gait deviations, and Dutton's differential-diagnosis tables.

Pair each topic with 15–20 practice questions and review every incorrect answer — understanding why a distractor is wrong is where the real learning happens.
