QUESTION 2 OF 30

What surgical case have you found most fascinating in your training?

You were exposed to many types of surgeries during your clinical rotations as a med student. The interviewers ask this question to gain insight into what you have been exposed to in your training and what you find fascinating. There is no wrong answer; the interviewers simply want to learn more about your personality and what surgical cases interest you.

"The surgical case I found most fascinating was a rotationplasty reconstructive surgery. A pediatric patient with Ewing sarcoma near the knee was unresponsive to other treatments. The surgeon removed the bottom of the patient's femur, the knee, and the upper tibia. He then attached the foot to the knee backward. Once a prosthetic was fitted, the ankle of the foot then functioned as a knee. The patient responded well to the surgery and was able to live an active life. It was a truly amazing surgery to witness."
