QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS GRADED
A++++
involves transferring the coracoid process, along with the
short head of the biceps and coracobrachialis, through the
subscapularis and attaching it to the scapular neck with a
screw. This procedure is for severe anterior recurrent
dislocations.
- Bankart
- Magnuson-Stack
- Bristow
- Putti-Platt - correct answers Bristow
Which of the following bones make up the pelvic girdle?
1. coccyx
2. acetabulum
3. sacrum
4. os coxae - correct answers 1, 3, and 4 only
The nerve at risk during an anterior compartment syndrome is
the
- anterior tibial
,- deep peroneal
- tibialis anterior
- supraspinatus - correct answers deep peroneal
Consists of softening, yellow discoloration, fraying, and
degeneration of the articular surface of the kneecap; usually
occurs in women between the ages of 14 and 28
- Chondromalacia
- Osteochondritis dissecans
- Pes anserinus
- Osteomyelitis - correct answers Chondromalacia
Carotid sinus is a small chemoreceptor mass—sensitive to
blood oxygen concentration—located behind the bifurcation of
the common carotid artery
- True
- False - correct answers False
Whole blood primarily consists of plasma (the liquid portion of
blood), which is 90% water. Plasma has several functions,
including helping maintain blood volume and pressure,
supplying proteins for immunity and clotting, and providing a
medium for the exchange of minerals required for cell
function. Suspended within the plasma are the
• Albumin
• Clotting proteins
• Fibrinogen
,• Globulins
• Platelets
• Red blood cells
• White blood cells
- True
- False - correct answers True
During a posterolateral approach for an intracapsular hip
fracture, which of the following muscles would be released
along with the short external rotators and capsule from the
posterior aspect of the femur as a single musculocapsular
flap?
- Gluteus medius
- gemelli
- quadratus femoris
- piriformis - correct answers piriformis
fractures occur just below the lesser trochanter and usually
are treated with an intramedullary rod. A patient with a
fractured hip displays external rotation of the leg on the
fractured side, and it usually is shorter than the nonfractured
hip.
- intertrochanteric
- subtrochanteric
- femoral neck - correct answers subtrochanteric
, A choledoco-duodenostomy refers to the surgical
anastomosis of which of the following two structures
- Gall bladder with the common bile duct
- common bile duct and fundus of the stomach
- duodenum and common bile duct
- pancreatic duct and antrum of the stomach - correct
answers duodenum and common bile duct
During an ORIF of the distal radius, the surgeon may transect
the transverse carpal ligament to
- provide exposure for the procedure
- provide increased wrist range-of-motion postoperatively
- reduce the possibility of carpal tunnel syndrome
postoperatively
- reduce the possibility of de Quervain's tenosynovitis
postoperatively - correct answers reduce the possibility of
carpal tunnel syndrome postoperatively
A Potts fracture occurs in the
- distal tibia
- distal fibula
- distal femur
- syndesmotic screw - correct answers distal tibia
The ________ and the _________ arteries interconnect at the
Circle of Willis located at the base of the brain
