Ortho Quiz: Lower Extremity

A subtrochanteric fracture of the hip involves a fracture between the greater and lesser trochanter.

Total hip replacements are usually called for hip fractures because the acetabulum does not have a redundant blood supply resulting in avascular necrosis.

AVN stands for [blank_start]avascular necrosis[blank_end].

FAI stands for [blank_start]femoroacetabular impingement[blank_end]. A bump on the femur is a [blank_start]cam[blank_end]. Extra growth that extends the rim of the acetabulum is a [blank_start]pincer[blank_end].

Treatment for a FAI is typically a THR.

An acetabular labral tear usually results in dislocation of the hip.

Which of these is true about trochanteric bursitis?

Osteoarthritis at the hip occurs due to narrowing space between acetabulum and femoral head. Resultant grinding rubs away joint cartilage and usually requires a THR.

Which of these is not a precaution for THR posterolateral approach?

Which of these is true about ACL rupture?

Which of these is true about MCL rupture?

It is rare for an LCL to be due to microtrauma.

PCL tear occurs frequently in car accidents when tibia slams into dashboard and femur travels backwards on tibia.

Which of these is true about menisci of knee?

Patellofemoral pain syndrome...

When the patella dislocated it almost always dislocates [blank_start]laterally[blank_end].

Patellar tendonitis occurs when there is too much stress coming on to the ligament of the knee.

Pes anserine bursitis most often occurs in older men and involves the lateral knee.

Inversion of the ankle usually involves injury to the [blank_start]anterior talofibular ligament[blank_end].

[blank_start]Posterior tibialis tendonitis[blank_end] is an over [blank_start]pronation[blank_end] injury in which the posterior tibialis is used to maintain the arch of the foot rather than having proper alignment of tarsal bones.

Plantar fascitis is heel pain with point tenderness at calcaneal tubercle.

Which of these is true about morton's neuroma?

Which of these is true about toe deformities?

Which of these is not true about pes planus?

Hallux abducto valgus is due to excessive lateral drift of 1st ray due to an external rotation of foot.

Which of these is true about pes varus?

ATFL tear occurs due to an inversion and dorsiflexion injury to the ankle.

Aside from an ATFL tear in the ankle, the [blank_start]posterior talofibular[blank_end] ligament or [blank_start]calcaneofibular[blank_end] ligament may tear.
