4. During gap balancing, the surgeon wants to loosen extension poses.
What can we do -CORRECT ANSWER translate femur superiorly
5. During gap balancing, the surgeon wants to loosen the mid-flexion
poses. What is a possible solution? -CORRECT ANSWER decrease
the proudness of the femoral component
6. During gap balancing, the surgeon wishes to loosen extension poses.
What can we do? -CORRECT ANSWER Anchor posteriorly and
extend the femoral component
7. During gap balancing, the surgeon wishes to loosen flexion poses.
What is an option for him? -CORRECT ANSWER translate femur
anteriorly
8. During gap balancing, the surgeon wishes to loosen the mid-flexion
poses. What is a possible solution? -CORRECT ANSWER reduce the
proudness of the femoral component
,9. During implant tracking, the red dots represent the center of the tibia
implant at every pose capture -CORRECT ANSWER true
10. During implant tracking, the yellow dots are used to assess
overstuffing in the PF joint -CORRECT ANSWER false
11. During implant tracking, what do the yellow dots represent? -
CORRECT ANSWER potential impingement, anterior most point in
extension and posterior most point in deep flexion of the tibia
12. During kinematic analysis, the surgeon need sot go slowly
through an ROM while capturing contact -CORRECT ANSWER true
13. During kinematic analysis, the surgeon needs to apply axial
load while capturing contact -CORRECT ANSWER true
14. During kinematic analysis, the surgeon needs to keep the knee
in neutral rotation while capturing contact -CORRECT ANSWER true
15. During kinematic analysis, the surgeon needs to reproduce the
same consistent passive corrective force from pre-resection
balancing while capturing poses -CORRECT ANSWER true
16. During pre-op planning, the MPS should select a femoral
component that covers about 75% of the femoral condyle -CORRECT
ANSWER True
17. During probe check in Mako PKA 3.0, verifying the probe does
not require pressing "capture" -CORRECT ANSWER True
18. During trialing, the surgeon assesses the stability of the knee
and finds it loose in the ROM. what can be done? -CORRECT
ANSWER increase poly thickness
19. During trialing, the surgeon assesses the stability of the knee
and finds it tight in the ROM. what can be done? -CORRECT
ANSWER decrease tibia proudness, translate distally
20. During trialing, the surgeon assesses the stability of the knee
and it feels tight in the full ROM. What can be done? -CORRECT
, ANSWER Decrease the proudness of the tibial component and
repeat all tibial cuts
21. Extended boundaries are available for saw cuts in the planar
workflow -CORRECT ANSWER false (nowhere to extend the
incision, too small)
22. For the planar workflow, which step is required for RIO
Registration in Mako Partial Knee 3.0? -CORRECT ANSWER Rio Set
up
23. For which bone resections is motorized alignment not
recommended -CORRECT ANSWER femur surface (because it pulls
you back to the same spot)
24. How does the mako partial knee 2.5.6 appear in the GUI? -
CORRECT ANSWER PKA Burr
25. How does the mako Partial Knee 3.0 application appear in the
GUI? -CORRECT ANSWER PKA Mics
26. How is a gap calculated in joint balancing? -CORRECT
ANSWER the shortest distance between the two implants
27. How much does the component move when clicking the
"rotational arrows" in mako PKA 3.0? -CORRECT ANSWER 0.5
degrees
28. How much does the component move when clicking the
"translational arrows" in PKA 3.0? -CORRECT ANSWER 0.25mm
29. If a surgeon chooses to switch from a Patellofemoral procedure
intraoperatively in the mako PKA 3.0 app, on which page does the
MPS change the implant? -CORRECT ANSWER Patient Information
30. If orientation control is turned off for post hole prep, then
motorized alignment is also turned off -CORRECT ANSWER false
31. If planar workflow is selected, robotic arm must be positioned
on the same side as operative side -CORRECT ANSWER True
