Viva is aimed to See ur thoughts flow. Its a rapid fire--make it direct to the point
Give lecture to others daily. Pick 1 topic per day. Gain ur confidence thru that
Dont interrupt the examiner. Ask to rephrase politely
Use proper english
Check ur voice. Say it clearly with good tones
Hard question is a bonus to get distinction
Dont be stress
maintain ur eye cntc
Prof ruhi
Viva is a frightening experience :try to be calm
Take 2-3 seconds to organize answer
"would u like to reconsider ur answer?"
Say yes. And think it back
Be acute to situations
Carefully listening the questions
Rephrase if u don't get it
Eg how would u manage...?
Complication of something?
Make it structured
Eg. Acute complications and chronic complications
Dont say like 5 complications.
Dont mention figure. Try to avoid

Previously viva got 4 sessions
Currently is being simplified-2
Viva is something that u prepared everyday to ur pt-practice that way
Daily tips: go back n read the same topic although already come across that many times before
Choose 1 case to be prepared per list of ot And start telling ur colleagues and the surgeon especially,to validate ur answer weather its true and up to the standard
Always look at examiner face. Maintain eye contact
Leads the examiner. Direct them to ur comfort zone esp when u r being alot of samples(of implant for example)
Eg bone cement
Whats the material?fx?complication?
Explain one by one
Viva sessions (practical session)
1st question is alwys an ice breaking question
Next is direct question to the specific topics
Eg what hv u done in ur hospital?
-choose from what u r confident most
Eg principle of lag screws
Draw the screw and frcture:make it fast-take less than 1 minutes
Give exact answer;eg lower limbs drill bit and screw size
-Answer straight drilling with 4.5 dril bit then 3.5 size ,with direction perpendicular to fracture site
-purchase the Prox cortex first then Distal cortex
-Countersink and put the screw
-Tighten the screw
Eg:how to do bka?
Answer directly
-i check the consent
Dont say that u r explaining from risk,Benefits,indications--its wasting time!!
Unless u being asked about that further
