Q

Describe adjacent disc degeneration caused by solid fixation

A

Disc degeneration fluid seen in the nucleus starts to leak, causing the drying out of the disc, which could lead to further back pain

Q

Hip Surgery- Anterio-Lateral

A

pros: minimally invasive, access without cutting muscles, likely to remain, quick recovery, one incision
cons: reduce accuracy

21
Q

Hip Surgery- Anterior

A

pros: reduce dislocation in smaller heads
cons: potential damage to femoral cutaneous nerve

22
Q

Hip Surgery- Minimally Invasive

A

2 incisions

pros: reduce soft tissue damage
cons: reduce accuracy and visualization

23

Types of Lumbar Interbody Fusion

A

⇒Anterior LIF (ALIF)
⇒Posterior LIF (PLIF)
⇒Lateral LIF (LLIF)
⇒Transforaminal LIF (TLIF)

A

Anterior Cervical Diseconomy Fusion (ACDF)

25
Q

Posterior Screws are considered ______ ______

A

off label

26
Q

Soft Fusion

A

promotes fusion by small movements, less stress on adjacent levels

27

Cobb Angle

A

angle between most tilted vertebrae above apex and most tilted vertebrae below apex

28
Q

What is IVD (Intervertebral Disc) Replacement

A

composite implant to mimic an intervertebral disc with endplates

29
Q

Pros of IVD replacement

A
Maintain or increase flexibility and range
of motion
Maintain joint stability
Decrease stress transfer to adjacent
discs
Maintain disc height
Pain reduction
30

A

strength required to break a femur

31
Q

Most common knee replacement

A

PS posterior Stabilising– cruciate sacrificing

32
Q

Native Knee joint medial vs lateral condyle

A

medial is larger

33
Q

Screw Home mechanism

A

helps knee lock in place

34
Q

Radius of curvature compared to Apperent curvature

A

A = 1 / R

35
Q

Apparent Curvature examples

A

large curvature- marble (very noticeable curve)

small curvature- earth (not very noticeable)

36
Q

static stabilizers knee and hip

A

ligaments (ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL)- knee

iliofemoral ligament- hip

37
Q

ligaments

A

connect bone to bone

38
Q

Q

Angle of inclination

A

femoral longitudinal axis and the femoral neck

42
Q

Angle of Torsion

A

twist in the shaft of the head

epicondyles and axis of the neck

43
