DEX IOT DAY 2 EXAM TEST
QUESTIONS |GUARANTEED
ACCURATE ANSWERS
What is special about the Tightrope XP Drill? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Designed to prevent skiving off the fibula ridge.
What suture is the Tightrope XP Drill loaded with? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ #5 UHMWPE
What does UHMWPE stand for? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Ultra
High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
What is the transmalleolar plane? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A
plane that is 30 degrees anterior to the coronal plane.
What should be done before drilling for the XP tightrope - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Stabilize all fractures first.
Where should the drilling for the tightrope xp start? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ About 1.5 cm above the joint line.
,What is the size of the drill bit for the tightrope xp? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ 3.7.
How should the black knob on the tightrope xp be positioned during
passing? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Either towards the foot or
towards the head. Towards the foot is slightly better.
Why is positioning the black knob for the tightrope xp towards the foot
slightly better? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The passer tip is at a 45
degree angle. When the button is towards the foot the 45 degree angle
lines up with the tibia and allows the button to flip without pushing out
into the soft tissues as much
How is the tightrope XP tensioned? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Hold
the center of the sutures and walk the button down to the plate or nail
before starting to tension to stop the suture from bunching
What plates come in the Ankle Fracture system? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Locking distal fibula plates, Locking third tubular,
Locking Straight, Medial Hook Plate, Locking Lateral Hook Plate
What are the features of the Locking distal fibula plates? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Only plate with suture holes that can be used for the
AiTFL.
, What sizes of screws can be used in the head of the locking distal fibular
plates? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 2.7 locking/cortical and 3.0
cancellous.
How many hole options in the distal fibular plate can be used for the
syndesmosis tightrope? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 3.
What sizes of screws can be used in the shaft of the distal fibular plate? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 3.5 screws or 4.0 cancellous.
What are the available sizes for the distal fibular plate? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14.
What is the purpose of the tapered distal end of the distal fibular plate? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ To limit soft tissue irritation.
What type of screws can be used with the locking third tubular plate? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 3.5 screws or 4.0 cancellous.
What are the benefits of the recessed holes and scalloped edge of the
third tubular plate? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ They reduce screw
prominence and profile, and facilitate contouring.
What is the thickness of the locking third tubular plate? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ 1.2 mm.
