Answer
-
a massive tear a tear larger than 5 cm
-
highest incidence occurs in the geriatric population

most rotator cuff tears are caused by progressive, degenerative microtrauma

Question 2
Question
Impingement syndrome occurs when the [blank_start]suprasinpatus tendon[blank_end] is trapped between the [blank_start]humeral head[blank_end] and the [blank_start]acromion[blank_end].
Answer
-
suprasinpatus tendon
-
labrum
-
biceps long head tendon
-
humeral head
-
glenoid fossa
-
acromion
-
corocoid process
Question 3
Question
Which of these is true about the causes of impingement syndrome?
Answer
-
a misshapen acromion can narrow the subacromial space further increasing the likelihood of the supraspinatus tendon entrapment
-
repeated rubbing on top of humeral head can form a callus which narrows space where supraspinatus tendon sits
-
excessive lordosis can bring humeral head closer to acromion, decreasing space for supraspinatus tendon
-
rotator cuff insufficiency leads to inferior movement of the humeral head
Question 4
Question
Which of these is true about impingement syndrome?
Answer
-
Pain past 140 degrees of abduction is a sign of this syndrome
-
the subacromial space closes up during the top abduction resulting in less pain
-
the painful arc sign is between 80 and 135 degrees
-
the painful arch sign is between 135 and 170 degrees
Question 5
Question
Tendonitis of the biceps long head tendon may develop with impingement syndrome.
Question 6
Question
Detachment of the biceps tendon from the labrum most often occurs in the baseball players. It is usually very painful and is always repaired with surgery.
Question 7
Question
A SLAP tear occurs at the [blank_start]labrum[blank_end]; the tear happens from [blank_start]anterior[blank_end] to [blank_start]posterior[blank_end].
Answer
-
labrum
-
glenoid fossa
-
biceps tendon long head
-
anterior
-
superior
-
lateral
-
posterior
-
inferior
-
medial
Question 8
Question
During a SLAP tear the supraspinatus tendon may be torn.
Question 9
Question
Conservatively most SLAP tears are repaired with debridement.
Question 10
Question
Debridement and labral repair surgeries both require very conservative movement and have difficult course of rehab.
Question 11
Question
A dislocation is a partial subluxation of the shoulder joint as a result of a structural instability.
Question 12
Question
Frozen shoulder...
Answer
-
is self limiting and symptoms disappear in 6 months
-
comes on after a traumatic event, lasts 12-18 months and requires surgery
-
the first 3-4 months are minimal pain with limited PROM, followed by a great deal of pain with limited AROM
-
after initial period of limited movement due to pain, there is a lot of stiffness and then it goes away
Question 13
Question
Which of these is not true about surgical neck fractures?
Answer
-
occurs more in elderly population
-
can be set with closed reduction
-
may happen as a result of a fall
-
the hardware for ORIF stays in the bone
Question 14
Question
Which of these is true about epicondylitis?
Answer
-
lateral epicondylitis occurs due to excessive wrist flexion against resistance
-
epicondylitis usually occurs as result of a fall
-
medial epicondylitis occurs due to excessive wrist flexion with no resistance
-
A right handed golfer may develop medial epicondylitis on their right wrist.
Question 15
Question
Which of these is not true about olecranon fractures and dislocations?
Answer
-
olecranon dislocations may occur with olecranon fractures
-
olecranon dislocations happen due to a fall with an outstretched hand with a rotational component
-
olecranon fracture occurs as an avulsion with the biceps tendon
-
olecranon fractures can happen due to a direct blow to elbow
Question 16
Question
Which of these is not true about radial head dislocation?
Question 17
Question
True carpal tunnel syndrome is the median nerve compression at the carpal tunnel due to a traumatic injury.

Which of these is true about orthopedic conditions that affect the hand?
Answer

Persons with Boutennier's deformity, swan neck deformity and mallet finger do not have PROM in the affected joints.
Question 20
Question
Which of these is true about open and closed reduction of colles fracture?
Answer
-
possible median nerve damage with open reduction
-
open reductions are indicated for well reduced fractures
-
open reductions are indicated for fractures with cartilage damage
-
closed reduction is more difficult to perform
