Final exam Ortho Tech/99
complete questions and answers
The normal length of time for a fracture to heal is: - -8-12 weeks
-The five stages of normal fracture healing in correct order include: - -
inflammation, cellular proliferation, callus formation, ossification, remodeling
-Factors that may disrupt normal fracture healing include all except: - -
internal fixation immobilization
-The interior of a vertebra consists of what type of bone? - -trabecular
-How many facial bones are there? - -14
-Which of these is not a cranial bone? - -lacrimal
-The pubic symphysis is an example of what type of joint? - -Amphiarthrosis
-What pathology occurs due to the anatomical deficiency of the posterior
joint capsule of the knee? - -Baker's cyst
-Which is the most mobile joint of all joints in the lower extremity? - -Hip
joint
-What is the primary action of the popliteus muscle? - -Internal (medial)
rotation of the tibia
-A fracture that occurs due to the weakening of bone due to disease. - -
Dyscrasic
-A Colles fracture is defined as a: - -Fracture of the distal metaphysis of the
radius; the fractured segment is displaced dorsally
-Duverney's fracture occurs at this anatomical site: - -Ilium
-An unstable fracture that occurs at the base of the first metacarpal: - -
Bennett's fracture
-A fracture that results from nutritional deficits: - -Trophic fracture
-Which statement is NOT true regarding a Segond fracture: - -Located at the
tibial tuberosity
, -Common signs of this fracture include a shortened 5th metacarpal
phalangeal joint and a 5th finger that overlaps the 4th finger when a fist is
made: - -Boxer's fracture
-A fracture that includes the medial malleolus and the distal fibula: - -Potts
fracture
-What is a greenstick fracture? - -An incomplete fracture seen in children
-A blow to the anterior rib cage results in a fracture of the lateral rib cage.
This is an example of what type of fracture? - -Indirect fracture
-This is an avulsion fracture that occurs at the distal phalanx of a finger: - -
Mallet fracture
-Forceful external rotation of the foot relative to the tibia can sprain the
deltoid ligament or distal syndesmosis joint. It is also a mechanism for this
spiral fracture of the proximal 1/3rd of the fibula: - -Maisoneuve fracture
-Which fracture occurs at the base of the 5th metatarsal at the junction of
the metaphysis and diaphysis? - -Jones fracture
-A fracture that extends through the epiphysis, and separates a portion of
the epiphysis and physis from the metaphysis: - -Salter-Harris Type III
-Which is NOT true regarding tibial plateau fractures? - -There are five
classified patterns of these fractures
-This finding indicates inadequate vascular function: - -capillary refill > 2
seconds
-A condition where 1 vertebra sides forward in the vertebral column: - -
spondylolisthesis
-All these bones are likely to heal poorly in mid-aged adults and therefore
bone growth stimulators may be prescribed to stimulate healing and prevent
nonunion, except: - -shaft of 5th metacarpal
-Choose the best answer. The inflammation of bone and cartilage: - -
osteochondritis
-It is important to provide take home patient instructions after putting on a
cast. This list of instructions is all correct except: - -use powder inside the
cast if skin becomes irritated
