There are well-established guidelines for musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders in the assessment of potential recruits. There have been no critical appraisals of the application of these guidelines since their recent revision. The aim of this study was to examine whether common presenting conditions are covered by the guidelines and whether there was adherence by the assessor to the recommended outcome. We reviewed 110 potential recruits presenting to an Orthopaedic Consultant. There were a number of conditions not covered and a few occasions when the decision seemed contrary to the guidelines. In particular we think more consideration is needed of congenital deformities.
