M5 Orthopedics Posting MCQs

Hi, these are all the mcqs from those who passed me the questions from our end of
posting test for CG 24-27.
Some are missing; but I guess its better than nothing so dont complain man! Ive added
a * next to parts where it is likely to be different from the original but as far as possible
it is quite an authentic replica of the originalAnswers should be correct as they went
through with us. But I wasnt paying attention for some bits so use at your own peril.
