Meniscus Repair, FAI Lesions
Description: This study document contains Day 3 exam questions with 100% correct
answers focused on knee and hip conditions. It covers femoroacetabular
impingement (FAI), acetabular labrum functions, meniscus zones, ACL
reconstruction, MPFL stabilization, and graftlink techniques. Additional sections
explain biomechanics, ligament anatomy, complications in pediatric ACL, and
meniscus healing potential. It is a complete orthopedic exam prep guide for sports-
related hip and knee pathology.
True or False: The acetabular labrum extends around the entirety of the hip socket -
answer✔✔False It's a horseshoe shape Which ligament is connected to the
femoral head and aids in stabilizing the hip socket? - answer✔✔Ligamentum Teres
True or False: Most FAI contains mixed pincer/cam lesions - answer✔✔True True
or False: FAI can be defined as the repetitive abutment between the femoral neck
and acetabular rim that occurs within ranges of motions which can cause symptoms -
answer✔✔True Cam impingement can be defined as - answer✔✔An aspherical
femoral head, usually anterosuperior "aspherical extension" All of the following are
, functions of the acetabular labrum, EXCEPT: 1. Provides a suction seal to the hip 2.
Adds stability to the hip by deepening the socket 3. Acts as a shock absorber, with its
most thick portion superiorly 4. Serves as an attachment for the ligamentum teres -

answer✔✔Answer = 4 The ligamentum teres is NOT an attachment site In which
compartment of the hip would you address a CAM lesion? Central Peripheral Peri
trochanteric - answer✔✔Peripheral True or False: The articular cartilage of the
acetabulum has a horseshoe shape - answer✔✔True True or False: A CAM
deformity is a bony overgrowth of the femoral neck and is associated with chondral
defects o n the acetabular transitional zone cartilage, while a pincer deformity is an
overgrowth of the acetabulum and is associated with 'pinching' of the labrum and
labral tears - answer✔✔True True or False: The MPFL is the main passive stabilizer
against lateral patellar displacement - answer✔✔True True or False: The MPFL is
tightest in knee flexion - answer✔✔True When referring to knee lower alignment,
what is the normal Q angle for a female? - answer✔✔18 degrees True or False:
The new MPFL kit comes with 3.5SL and Tightrope RT - answer✔✔True Zones of
the meniscus are determined by what? - answer✔✔Blood supply What is the goal
of meniscal resection? - answer✔✔- Remove degenerative tissue - Spare as much
of the meniscus as possible - Reproduce meniscal contour This is the more C-shaped
meniscus that has connections with the ACL and the capsule MCL: Medial or Lateral?
- answer✔✔Medial Which meniscus is more mobile due to less capsular
attachments? - answer✔✔Lateral A meniscus tear in what area is least likely to
