Oakstone orthopaedic surgery board review — 49 lectures for ABOS preparation
The orthopaedic surgery board review from Oakstone provides 49 video lectures and a companion PDF covering the full ABOS content blueprint. Charles T. Mehlman, DO, MPH anchors the curriculum with sessions on biomechanics, biostatistics, infections, fractures, and tumor biology, while a roster of subspecialty faculty adds depth in spine, reconstruction, sports medicine, pediatrics, and ethics. At 8.7 GB, the package is designed as a focused, exam-oriented review rather than a broad clinical reference.

Inside this resource
Science foundations — genetics, biomechanics, and evidence-based practice
Matthew Dobbs, MD opens with genetics and cartilage-bone biology. Mehlman follows with biomechanics and biomaterials, biostatistics and evidence-based orthopaedic surgery, and adult and pediatric musculoskeletal infections. Junichi Tamai, MD adds two sessions on pediatric MSK infections. These foundational lectures build the science base that underpins every clinical section that follows.
Adult reconstruction and trauma
Theodore Toan Le, MD covers primary and revision total knee arthroplasty. Todd C. Kelley, MD addresses adult hip reconstruction in two parts. Brian M. Grawe, MD presents shoulder reconstruction, and Nader Paksima, DO, MPH covers elbow, hand, and wrist. Trauma modules with Mehlman and Michael J. Beltran, MD span polytrauma, pelvic fractures, hip fractures, shaft fractures, knee fractures, and foot and ankle trauma — all high-yield topics for board examinations.
Pediatric orthopaedics and sports medicine
Eric J. Wall, MD delivers pediatric sports medicine. Alvin H. Crawford, MD, FACS covers pediatric spine and deformity. Roger Cornwall, MD presents upper extremity disorders — congenital and acquired. Mehlman adds pediatric lower extremity disorders, rotational and angular issues, and pediatric polytrauma. Christopher J. Utz, MD covers adult sports medicine for both upper and lower extremities.
Tumors, imaging, and ethics
Joel I. Sorger, MD addresses malignant soft tissue tumors and common bone malignancies in children and adults. Mehlman covers MSK imaging principles, nonoperative fracture care, and principles of muscle, tendon, and ligament. Kevin Little, MD presents common pediatric wrist and hand fractures. Sheila Chandran, MD covers gait, prosthetics, and orthotics. Paksima rounds out the curriculum with ethical issues in orthopaedic surgery.

Robert J. –
The adult reconstruction and trauma modules are outstanding. Primary and revision TKA with Dr. Le, hip reconstruction with Dr. Kelley, and polytrauma management with Dr. Beltran are high-yield for board prep.
Gregory S. –
Mehlman is the backbone of this review — his biomechanics, fracture, and tumor sessions are concise and exactly what the boards test. Passed on my first attempt using this as my primary resource.
Sarah C. –
Good board-prep resource with a focused exam-oriented approach. The spine, sports medicine, and ethics sessions round out the curriculum well. I would have appreciated more case-based scenarios but the lecture format works.
Ashley T. –
Thorough coverage across all orthopaedic subspecialties. The pediatric orthopaedics section with Drs. Crawford and Wall was stronger than I expected. At 8.7 GB, it downloads quickly.
David L. –
Solid content but some lectures feel more like a rapid survey than a deep dive. The genetics and tumor sessions are well done. As a revision tool for experienced surgeons it works well.
Karen P. –
Comprehensive board review that genuinely covers the ABOS blueprint. The infection, biomechanics, and fracture care sessions were the most useful for my preparation. Highly recommend for residents.
