2.
What is the commonly accepted total amount of time a surgeon should have the hip joint in traction?
Correct Answer
B. 2 hours
Explanation
The commonly accepted total amount of time a surgeon should have the hip joint in traction is 2 hours. This duration is considered appropriate for maintaining the necessary tension on the hip joint to facilitate the surgical procedure. It is important to limit the time in traction to minimize the risk of complications or damage to the joint and surrounding tissues.

Which of the following anchors are recommended for labral repair in the Hip:
Correct Answer(s)
A. Bioraptor Knotless
B. SpeedLock Hip
D. QFix
Explanation
The recommended anchors for labral repair in the Hip are Bioraptor Knotless, SpeedLock Hip, and QFix. These anchors are commonly used in hip surgeries to secure the labrum, a ring of cartilage that helps stabilize the hip joint. The Bioraptor Knotless anchor provides strong fixation without the need for tying knots, while the SpeedLock Hip anchor offers adjustable tension for optimal stability. The QFix anchor is designed to provide secure fixation in bone without damaging surrounding tissue. These anchors have been proven effective in labral repair procedures and are commonly used by surgeons.

7.
Competitive all suture implants typically rely on what method to expand/deploy within the bone hole?
Correct Answer
B. The anchor deploys when it hits the resistance of the cortical layer
Explanation
Competitive all suture implants typically rely on the method of deploying the anchor when it hits the resistance of the cortical layer. This means that the anchor is designed to expand or deploy within the bone hole once it encounters the harder outer layer of the bone. This ensures that the implant is securely fixed in place and provides stability.
8.
Select the anatomical landmarks below that surgeons use to identify the proper location for their hip portals.
Correct Answer(s)
A. ASIS
C. Greater Trochanter
Explanation
Surgeons use anatomical landmarks to identify the proper location for their hip portals. The ASIS (Anterior Superior Iliac Spine) is one of these landmarks, which is a bony projection located at the front of the pelvis. The Greater Trochanter is another landmark, which is a bony prominence on the side of the hip. By identifying these landmarks, surgeons can accurately determine the appropriate location for their hip portals during surgery. The Lesser Trochanter and Femoral Head are not used as landmarks for this purpose.
9.
What are the 3 sizes of our Arthrogarde cannulas?
Correct Answer
C. 4.5MM, 5.0MM, 5.5MM
Explanation
The correct answer is 4.5MM, 5.0MM, 5.5MM. These are the three sizes of Arthrogarde cannulas available.
10.
Other than the Hip Pac, what disposable product must you have available to properly use the Crosstrac?
Correct Answer
A. XL Spinal needle
Explanation
To properly use the Crosstrac, you must have the XL Spinal needle available. The Crosstrac is a medical device used for minimally invasive spine surgery, and the XL Spinal needle is an essential disposable product needed to perform the procedure effectively. It is important to have the XL Spinal needle on hand to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the Crosstrac during the surgery.
11.
Select the standard portals made during an arthroscopic hip procedure.
Correct Answer
B. Anterior Portal (AP), Anterolateral (AL), Posterolateral (PL)
Explanation
The correct answer is Anterior Portal (AP), Anterolateral (AL), Posterolateral (PL). These portals are commonly used during an arthroscopic hip procedure. The Anterior Portal provides access to the front of the hip joint, the Anterolateral Portal provides a lateral approach, and the Posterolateral Portal provides access from the back of the hip joint. These portals allow the surgeon to visualize and access different areas of the hip joint during the procedure.
12.
Surgeons learning to do hip scopes will face similar challenges. Identify the 3 common needs discussed in class that you should anticipate, uncover through GAP questioning, and prepare to position our S&N solutions for.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Access to the hip joint
B. Procedural Reproducability
C. Procedural support by a knowledgeable sales professional
Explanation
The three common needs discussed in class that surgeons learning to do hip scopes should anticipate, uncover through GAP questioning, and prepare to position S&N solutions for are access to the hip joint, procedural reproducibility, and procedural support by a knowledgeable sales professional. These needs are important because surgeons need proper access to the hip joint in order to perform the procedure effectively. Procedural reproducibility ensures consistent and reliable outcomes for patients. Lastly, having procedural support from a knowledgeable sales professional can help surgeons navigate any challenges or questions they may have during the learning process.
13.
Select the 3 anchors below offered in XL length for hip repair procedures.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Q-Fix
C. Suturefix
D. Speedlock Hip
Explanation
The question asks for the three anchors offered in XL length for hip repair procedures. The correct answer is Q-Fix, Suturefix, and Speedlock Hip. These anchors are specifically designed for hip repair procedures and are available in XL length, making them suitable for larger patients or cases that require longer anchors. The other option, Speedscrew, is not mentioned as being available in XL length, so it is not included in the correct answer.
14.
Competitive suture anchors have been know to "creep" or "give", post implantation. This micromotion creates the risk for what complication?
Correct Answer
A. Bone Cyst
Explanation
Competitive suture anchors have been known to "creep" or "give" post-implantation, which means they may shift or move slightly from their initial position. This micromotion can create stress and instability in the surrounding bone, leading to the development of a bone cyst. A bone cyst is a fluid-filled cavity within the bone that can cause pain, weaken the bone, and potentially lead to fractures. Therefore, the risk for this complication is increased when suture anchors creep or give.

Correct Answer
D. High Viz Burr
Explanation
The correct answer is the High Viz Burr. The surgeon specifically mentioned that she wants maximum visibility and protection to surrounding structures. The High Viz Burr is designed to provide enhanced visibility during procedures, allowing the surgeon to see the area clearly and minimize the risk of damaging surrounding tissues. This makes it the most suitable option for the surgeon's preference.

20.
Why is pullout performance variable with all suture implants?
Correct Answer
C. Dependent on bone quality, knot formation and the surgeon pulling on the sutures
Explanation
The pullout performance of suture implants can vary due to several factors. One of the factors is the quality of the bone in which the implant is placed. If the bone is weak or compromised, it may not provide enough support for the suture, leading to variable pullout performance. Additionally, the way the knot is formed during the implantation process can also affect the pullout performance. A poorly tied knot may not secure the suture properly, causing it to slip or loosen. Lastly, the amount of force applied by the surgeon when pulling on the sutures can impact the pullout performance.
