A1 & A3 pulleys are most important to mechanical function of fingers.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the A2 pulley is actually the most important to the mechanical function of fingers. The A2 pulley is responsible for maintaining the flexor tendons close to the bones, allowing for efficient movement and grip strength. The A1 and A3 pulleys also play a role in finger function, but they are not as crucial as the A2 pulley.Rate this question:

All of the following is associated with R.A except
- A.
Raised ESR
- B.
Enthesopathy
- C.
Joint erosion
- D.
Polyarthralgia
Correct Answer
B. EnthesopathyExplanation
Enthesopathy is not associated with R.A. Enthesopathy refers to the inflammation or degeneration of the entheses, which are the sites where tendons or ligaments attach to the bone. Rheumatoid arthritis (R.A) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints, causing symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and erosion. Raised ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), joint erosion, and polyarthralgia (pain in multiple joints) are all commonly associated with R.A. However, enthesopathy is not a characteristic feature of R.A.Rate this question:

Primary repair & delayed primary repair after flexor tendon injury is done respectively
- A.
48 - 72 hours & one week
- B.
12 -24 hours & 10 days
- C.
4 - 6 days & 10 days
- D.
36 -72 hours & one week
Correct Answer
B. 12 -24 hours & 10 daysExplanation
Primary repair of a flexor tendon injury is typically done within 12-24 hours after the injury occurs. This immediate repair helps to restore the integrity and function of the tendon. However, in some cases where the injury is not severe or the patient is not able to undergo immediate surgery, a delayed primary repair may be performed. This is typically done around 10 days after the injury, allowing for some healing and reduction of swelling before the repair is carried out.Rate this question:

Paresthesias at night
- B.
Pain & numbness
- C.
Placing hand over head relieves symptoms
- D.
Nocturnal pain
Correct Answer
C. Placing hand over head relieves symptomsExplanation
Placing hand over head relieves symptoms is not a symptom of CTS. CTS, or carpal tunnel syndrome, is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and paresthesias (tingling or burning sensations) in the hand and fingers. These symptoms are often worse at night and may disrupt sleep. However, placing the hand over the head does not have any direct effect on relieving CTS symptoms.Rate this question:

Type I acromion morphology is a predisposing factor for primary shoulder impingement
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
False. Type I acromion morphology is not a predisposing factor for primary shoulder impingement. Primary shoulder impingement is typically caused by repetitive overhead activities or structural abnormalities in the shoulder joint, such as rotator cuff tears or bony spurs. Acromion morphology refers to the shape of the acromion bone in the shoulder, which can vary between Type I, II, and III. While Type III acromion morphology has been associated with a higher risk of impingement, Type I morphology is not considered a predisposing factor.Rate this question:

Tightness of posterior capsule of GH joint leads to loss of
- A.
Flexion
- B.
Extension
- C.
External rotation
- D.
Internal rotation
Correct Answer
D. Internal rotationExplanation
When the posterior capsule of the glenohumeral (GH) joint becomes tight, it restricts the movement of the joint. This tightness specifically affects internal rotation, making it difficult for the arm to rotate inward towards the body. The other movements listed (flexion, extension, and external rotation) are not directly affected by the tightness of the posterior capsule.Rate this question:

Positive modified Trendelenberg test in lumbar spine assessment indicates nerve root pathology of
- A.
L5
- B.
L4
- C.
S1
- D.
S2
Correct Answer
C. S1Explanation
A positive modified Trendelenberg test in lumbar spine assessment indicates nerve root pathology of S1. The Trendelenberg test is used to assess the strength of the gluteus medius muscle, which is innervated by the superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1). A positive test result indicates weakness or dysfunction of the gluteus medius muscle on the side of the affected nerve root. Since the question specifically mentions a positive test result, it suggests that the nerve root pathology is at the level of S1.Rate this question:

In the management of CTEV the tendon of tibialis posterior is transferred to the outer side of the foot to compensate weak peronei.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
In the management of CTEV (Congenital Talipes Equinovarus), the tendon of tibialis anterior is transferred to the outer side of the foot, not the tendon of tibialis posterior. This is done to correct the deformity and provide stability to the foot. The transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon helps in correcting the inward rotation of the foot and brings it into a more normal position. The peronei muscles are not involved in this procedure. Therefore, the statement in the question is incorrect, and the correct answer is False.Rate this question:

On the basis of radiographic appearance hip OA can be classified into three types
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) can indeed be classified into three types based on radiographic appearance. Radiographic imaging, such as X-rays, can help identify the extent and severity of hip OA. The three types of hip OA classification are: 1) mild or early-stage OA, where there may be minimal joint space narrowing and small osteophytes (bone spurs), 2) moderate OA, characterized by more significant joint space narrowing and larger osteophytes, and 3) severe or end-stage OA, where there is substantial joint space narrowing, extensive osteophytes, and possible joint deformity. This classification system helps in determining the appropriate treatment approach for hip OA patients.Rate this question:

The classical test for hip arthritis is
- A.
Abduction of the hip
- B.
External rotation in hip flexion
- C.
Internal rotation of hip in flexion
- D.
Thomas test
Correct Answer
C. Internal rotation of hip in flexionExplanation
The classical test for hip arthritis involves performing internal rotation of the hip in flexion. This test is used to assess the range of motion and detect any restrictions or pain in the hip joint. By internally rotating the hip while it is flexed, any discomfort or limited mobility can indicate the presence of hip arthritis. This test helps in diagnosing and evaluating the severity of hip arthritis, allowing for appropriate treatment and management.Rate this question:

All of the following statements are true about Trendelenberg gait except
- A.
Pelvic drop on the same side
- B.
Weakness of gluteus medius muscle
- C.
Pathological gait
- D.
Strengthening of gluteus medius is often corrective
Correct Answer
A. Pelvic drop on the same sideExplanation
The Trendelenberg gait is characterized by a drop of the pelvis on the opposite side of the weakened gluteus medius muscle. This drop occurs because the gluteus medius is responsible for stabilizing the pelvis during walking. Therefore, the correct answer is "Pelvic drop on the same side" because it contradicts the characteristic drop seen in Trendelenberg gait.Rate this question:

The spine is the commonest site of bone & joint infection
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the spine is indeed the most common site for bone and joint infections. This is mainly due to the structure and function of the spine, which consists of multiple bones (vertebrae) and joints that can be susceptible to infection. Infections in the spine can occur through various means, such as bacteria entering the bloodstream or spreading from nearby infected tissues. Additionally, conditions like discitis or osteomyelitis can also contribute to spinal infections. Therefore, it is accurate to say that the spine is the most common site for bone and joint infections.Rate this question:

All of the following are absolute contraindication for TKA except
- A.
Non functioning extensor mechanism
- B.
Neuropathic athropathy
- C.
Painful solid knee fusion
- D.
Sepsis or systemic infection
Correct Answer
A. Non functioning extensor mechanismExplanation
The non-functioning extensor mechanism is not an absolute contraindication for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). TKA is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged knee joint with an artificial implant. Absolute contraindications are conditions or factors that make the surgery too risky or ineffective. Neuropathic arthropathy, painful solid knee fusion, and sepsis or systemic infection are all absolute contraindications for TKA because they can significantly impact the success of the surgery or increase the risk of complications. However, a non-functioning extensor mechanism can be addressed during the surgery and does not necessarily prevent the use of TKA.Rate this question:

CRPS type I is a syndrome that developes after a nerve injury
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The given answer is false because CRPS type I is a syndrome that develops without a specific nerve injury. It is typically triggered by a minor injury or surgery, but the pain and symptoms experienced are disproportionate to the initial injury. CRPS type I is believed to be caused by a dysfunction in the central and peripheral nervous systems, rather than a direct nerve injury.Rate this question:

- A.
PIVD
- B.
Spondylolysis
- C.
Spondylosis
- D.
Spinal canal stenosis
Correct Answer
B. SpondylolysisExplanation
Spondylolysis is a condition characterized by a defect or fracture in the pars interarticularis, a small bridge of bone connecting the facet joints in the spine. On an oblique view radiograph of the spine, a Scottish dog appearance refers to a specific appearance of the defect resembling the shape of a Scottish terrier dog. Therefore, the presence of a Scottish dog appearance on the radiograph suggests spondylolysis as the most likely diagnosis.Rate this question:

All of the following are primary signs of CRPS except
- A.
Severe hyperalgesia
- B.
Osteopenia
- C.
Edema
- D.
Stiffness
Correct Answer
B. OsteopeniaExplanation
Osteopenia is not a primary sign of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). CRPS is a chronic pain condition characterized by severe hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain), edema (swelling), and stiffness. Osteopenia refers to low bone density, which may be a secondary consequence of CRPS due to decreased use of the affected limb. However, it is not considered a primary sign of the condition.Rate this question:

Step deformity is seen in
- A.
Spondylosis
- B.
Spondylolisthesis
- C.
Sacralization
- D.
PIVD
Correct Answer
B. SpondylolisthesisExplanation
Step deformity is seen in spondylolisthesis. Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below it. This can result in a step-like appearance in the spine, where there is a noticeable misalignment between adjacent vertebrae. This step deformity can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the affected area. Other conditions listed such as spondylosis, sacralization, and PIVD do not typically present with a step deformity.Rate this question:
