Example Question #1 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
What symptom is normally seen with the sacralization of L5 vertebra and why?
Increase of mobility because the lumbar vertebrae are normally associated with high mobility
Loss of mobility because the sacrum is associated with high mobility
Increase of mobility because the sacrum is associated with low mobility
Sacralization of the L5 vertebra will not affect mobility because it is the most caudal lumbar vertebra
Loss of mobility because the lumbar vertebrae are normally associated with high mobility
Loss of mobility because the lumbar vertebrae are normally associated with high mobility
The lumbar region of the vertebrae is known for its high mobility and ability to support body weight. If it receives inappropriate signals during development and fuses with the sacrum, it will result in a loss of mobility in the individual.
Example Question #2 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
What carpal bone articulates with the radius and is the most commonly fractured bone in the wrist?
Pisiform
Trapezium
Hamate
Scaphoid
Scaphoid
The scaphoid, which articulates with the distal radius, is a very common fractured bone. It is located at the base of the thumb.
Example Question #3 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease involves avascular necrosis of which bone?
Mandible
Humerus
Scaphoid
Femur
Talus
Femur
While the other bones listed are common sites of avascular necrosis, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease specifically refers to avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
Example Question #2 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
Which motion at the ankle, when take to the extreme, is likely to result in an avulsion fracture of the medial malleolus?
Eversion
Extension
Dorsiflexion
Plantarflexion
Inversion
Eversion
End range ankle eversion tenses the deltoid ligament (medial collateral ligament of the ankle). However, at the extremes of ankle eversion, the high tensile strength of the deltoid ligament can cause the medial malleolus to avulse from the tibia. During inversion, this ligament is not tense.
Example Question #3 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
Osgood-Schlatter's is characterized by repeated avulsion fractures of which bone?
Patella
5th metatarsal
Ilium
Tibia
Ischium
Tibia
Although bony prominences on the other bones listed are common sites for avulsion fractures, Osgood-Schlatter's disease refers to the repeated avulsion of the tibial tuberosity, which can occur during growth spurts.
Example Question #4 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
Following anterior dislocation of the humerus, the posterolateral posrtion of the humeral head can become injured. What is the name for this type of injury?
SLAP lesion
Reverse Hill-Sachs lesion
Hill-Sachs lesion
Bankart lesion
McLaughlin lesion
Hill-Sachs lesion
(Superior Lateral Anterior Posterior) SLAP and Bankart tears are injuries to the glenoid labrum. Reverse-Hill Sachs and McLaughlin lesion are synonymous, however they are injuries to the anteromedial portion of the humeral head, and are caused by posterior dislocation of the humerus.
Example Question #1477 : Human Anatomy And Physiology
A Monteggia fracture is an injury to bone?
Femur
Talus
Patella
Fibula
Ulna
Ulna
A Monteggia fracture is a fracture-dislocation injury that involves a fracture of the proximal ulna, and dislocation of the proximal radius.
Example Question #5 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
Which of the following describes a grade V Salter-Harris fracture?
Fracture extending from the epiphysis, through the epiphyseal plate, and into the metaphysis
Fracture through the epiphyseal plate, with small fracture through metaphysis ("chip fracture")
Fracture through the epiphyseal plate and epiphysis
Compression injury to epiphyseal plate
Transverse fracture through the epiphyseal plate
Compression injury to epiphyseal plate
A Salter-Harris type V fracture is a compress ion injury of the epiphyseal plate. The other choices listed are type I is a transverse fracture through the epiphyseal plate. Type IV is a fracture extending from the epiphysis, through the epiphyseal plate, and into the metaphysis. Type III is a fracture through the epiphyseal plate and epiphysis. Type II is a fracture through the epiphyseal plate, with small fracture through metaphysis ("chip fracture").
Example Question #9 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
An open-book fracture describes an injury to which body region?
Pelvis
Wrist complex
Cervical spine
Ankle complex
Elbow complex
Pelvis
An open book fracture is an injury to the pelvis. In this injury, the pubic symphysis is disrupted, causing the pelvis to look like an open book.
Example Question #6 : Help With Bone Injuries And Disorders
Which of the following diseases is not associated with damage to bones?
de Quervain syndrome
Paget's disease
Pott's disease
Osteogenesis imperfecta
de Quervain syndrome
Paget's disease is a bone disease characterized by rapid bone degradation, and rebound bone growth however, the bone is laid bone in a disorganized manner and is prone to further degeneration. Pott's disease is characterized by destruction of thoracic vertebra, secondary to tuberculosis infection. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a congenital disorder caused by abnormalities in type I collagen production, that makes the patient prone to fracture. de Quervain syndrome is also known as de Quervain tenosynovitis, and is characterized by irritation to the sheath covering the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons.
