Q

Name three exam tests for posterior labral tear.

A

Jerk Test

Posterior load and shift

Kim test

Q

During what part of a bench press is the pec major most susceptible to rupture?

A

Downward motion

It is eccentrically contracting

310
Q

For a valgus knee, why is distal varus producing femoral osteotomy preferred to a tibial procedure?

A

It prevents obliquity at the joint line

A distal varus osteotomy will maintain a congruent, non-oblique joint at the same time as it fixes alignment

311
Q

Describe provocative test for anterior labral tear.

A

Pain if hip is brought from a fully flexed, externally rotated, and abducted position to a position of extension, internal rotation, and adduction

312
Q

Classification of cruciate cysts?

Anterior to ACL

between ACL & PCL

Posterior to PCL

313
Q

5 signs of generalized hypermobility

A

able to touch palms to floor while bending at waist

genu recurvatum

elbow hyperextension

MCP hyperextension

thumb abduction to the ipsilateral forearm

314
Q

Femoral condyle articular defect

A

Microfracture

Osteochondral allograft transfer (OATS)

315
Q

Outerbridge Arthroscopic Grading System

A

Grade 0: Normal

Grade 1: softening of cartilage

Grade 2: superficial fissure

Grade 3: Deep fissures, without exposed bone

Grade 4: Exposed subchondral bone

316
Q

What is the most anterior structure inserting on the fibular head?

A

LCL

317
Q

When I say Thermal capsulorraphy, you say:

A

High rate of recurrent instability

Contraindication to revision soft tissue labral repair

318
Q

Physical exam maneuver to test for internal snapping hip.

A

Passively move hip from a flexed and externally rotated position to an extended and internally rotated position.

Will reproduce psoas snapping over pectineal eminence or femoral head.

319
Q

What is internal impingement?

A

Impingement of posterior under-surface of supraspinatus tendon on greater tuberosity insertion on the posterosuperior glenoid rim

320
Q

What does a Stryker view look for?

A

Hill Sachs Lesion

321
Q

What is the female athlete triad?

A

Amenorrhea

Disordered eating

Osteoporosis

Must workup all 3 if 1 is present (ie a stress fracture)

322
Q

What do the ACL bundles do?

A

Anteromedial bundle: provides anterior-posterior stability

Posterolateral bundle: provides the rotational stability.

323
Q

What are the four most important technical considerations for shoulder hemiarthroplasty?

A
  1. Retroversion: Should be 30 degrees, lateral fin should be just posterior to biceps groove
  2. Head Size: Don’t overstuff, compare to other side and compare to removed head
  3. Implant height: 56 mm from top of prosthesis to pec tendon, 10 mm from top of prosthesis to GT
  4. Fixation of tuberosities: Can use autograft from head to aid in healing
