How are medical students being trained during the COVID-19 pandemic, when lockdowns have forced universities to shutter and lessons to be delivered virtually? Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rajesh Singh draws inspiration from a classic medical textbook, ‘The Closed Treatment of Common Fractures’, that has been made freely available by Cambridge University during this time.
