COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE
ANSWERS
◉ when performing an InternalBrace procedure for augmentation of
a Brostrom procedure the surgeon has first placed the 4.75mm
SwiveLock anchor into the talus with FiberTape Suture. The
FiberTape suture was passed through the tissues and will be secured
in the fibula with a 3.5mm SwiveLock anchor. What size drill should
the surgeon use in the fibula? Answer: 3.4mm
◉ True or False: the InternalBrace implant allows for early weight
bearing while protecting the ligament repair Answer: True
◉ True or False: Arthrex recommends using the InternalBrace
implant for lateral ankle instability with or without a repair of the
ATFL Answer: False
◉ Surgical repair of the lateral ankle ligament (ATFL) is most often
accomplished with what procedure Answer: modified brostrom-
gould procedure
◉ when someone suffers an ankle sprain, what ligament is involved
most commonly? Answer: anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL)
,◉ the PowerPick instrument was initially designed to make quick
work of: Answer: microfracture procedures
◉ True or False: The DualWave arthroscopy pump is designed to
operate as either an inflow/outflow or an inflow only pump Answer:
True
◉ True or False: Removing the orange cap and plugging in the
pressure sensor is the first step in the tubing set-up procedure for
the DualWave arthroscopy pump Answer: True
◉ how many handpicks can be connected and controlled
simultaneously by the synergy resection console at one time?
Answer: 2
◉ the purpose of the shaver boost mode on the DualWave
arthroscopy pump is: Answer: increase the suction through the
shaver
◉ the three by-products of ablation are bubbles, light emission and
Answer: heat
◉ what is the largest arthroscopic segment for bipolar RF products
Answer: shoulder
,◉ True or False: The PowerRasp attachment is a rotary motion
device that creates a smooth, flat surface Answer: false
◉ when using bipolar RF technology the clinical guidelines include?
Answer: all of the above
◉ The metal detection feature on the SynergyRF Bipolar Ablation
System performs what function? Answer: suspends power to probe
when the tip is in close proximity of scope or metal instruments
◉ which shaver oscillation mode provides both aggressive tissue
resection and control? Answer: EFF
◉ The default ablation setting level for the MP90 probe is? Answer:
7
◉ the Torpedo shaver has which of the following features? Answer: a
tapered, conical tip
◉ the Bipolar ablation breaks down tissue by the following process?
Answer: chemical reaction - gently breaks down tissue at the
molecular level
, ◉ the main talking points when introducing the synergy UHD4
imaging platform are: Answer: all of the above
◉ the ClearCut family of burrs provides maximum visibility due to
the following: Answer: clear shroud/hood
◉ which component included in the 2.7mm diameter nano cannula
and insertion kit that can be placed over the nano cannula to
maintain position during instrument removal? Answer: tegaderm
transparent film dressing
◉ if the DualWave arthroscopy pump height is 1 foot above the
operative site, what is the differential between the displayed
pressure and the actual pressure? Answer: +22 mmHg
◉ What type of light engine is in the Synergy UHD4 all in one camera
system? Answer: LED
◉ What are some techniques surgeons use the bipolar RF wands
for? Answer: all of the above
◉ what is the outer diameter of the inflow/outflow sheath for the
NanoScope micro arthroscopy system? Answer: 2.2 mm
