MKT 201 CORE MAIN EXAMINATION QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Which CT landmark define the mechanical axis of the femur - ✔✔Hip center and
femur knee center
✔✔The Triathlon tibial component M/L dimension changes by 3 mm when
increasing/decreasing from sizes 1-8. - ✔✔False
✔✔The short antler of the leg positioner is placed on the robotic-arm side of the boot -
✔✔false
✔✔Triathlon tibial baseplates are available in symmetric and asymmetric styles. -
✔✔false
✔✔The Triathlon CR insert offers how many degrees of Varus/Valgus constraint? -
✔✔no constraint
✔✔During 'pre-resection' ligament balancing, before any cuts have been made, the
surgeon wishes to tighten both the extension and flexion gap by 2 mm - ✔✔Move the
tibial component superior by 2 mm
, ✔✔Which pre-surgery check is side-specific? - ✔✔auto arm accuracy
✔✔1. In bone preparation, standby mode means the surgeon is ABLE to the enter the
stereotactics and start the saw. - ✔✔True
✔✔Triathlon patellas are available in symmetric and asymmetric styles - ✔✔true
✔✔On the tibial component, posterolateral overhand is desirable because it provides
cortical support during femoral rollback - ✔✔false
✔✔The Triathlon tibial baseplate with a CS insert and PCL protect has a default slope
of 3 degrees - ✔✔true
✔✔Flexing the femoral component minimizes the risk of: - ✔✔notching
✔✔What are the steps for identifying and resolving a bumped base array? - ✔✔1.
Confirm integrity of cutting tool and its assembly, check the stability of base array and
retighten the array, redo RIO setup, redo RIO registration
✔✔Use Sagittal CT slicer view to confirm that the femoral component's posterior medial
condyle in concentric with the patient's femur - ✔✔true
✔✔If you place the crosshair in the location below on a RIGHT knee and press the
button circled in red, what will be the outcome? - ✔✔A degree of Varus will be added to
femur, and the medial extension gap will increase
✔✔The most common surgical approach for a total knee arthroplasty is medial
parapatellar - ✔✔true
✔✔The steps for identifying and resolving a bumped bone array are: 1. Walk three
places in bone registration and identify the bone registration has been compromised. 2.
Retighten the bumped array. 3. Clear the associated bone registration, checkpoint and
patient landmarks. 4. Recapture the associated patient landmarks, checkpoint, bone
registration and verification - ✔✔true
✔✔If you place the crosshair in the location below on LEFT knee and press the button
circled in red, what will be the outcome? - ✔✔A degree of varus will be added to the
femur, and the medial extension gap will increase
✔✔In a right Mako TKA procedure, there are 42 bone registration points on the femur
and tibia respectively - ✔✔false
