Three months after surger, an orthopaedic surgeon is studying the postsurgical range of motion of 2 patient cohorts taht underwent total knee surgery. this is a single-surgeon study, and the patients are prospectively randomized to a cruciate-retaining knee implant anda posterior-stabilized total knee implant.

Q

87. A 12-year old boy who is reletively short in stature has sustained several-low-energy fractures dispite having dense-appearing bones. Radiographs reveal that his distal phalanges are short.

Q

134. A 22-year-old woman has a reletively low-energy distal radius fracture. She takes no medications and is in good health, but her vitamin D levels are very low. Vitamin D metabolite and sclerosin levels are asses before and after 3 months of vitamin D replacement therapy to determine if therapy will improve her long-term bone health. There is an expected elevation in:

  1. 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and sclerosin levels but not in 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol level
  2. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol level with a lower level of sclerosin but no effect on 25-hydroxycholecalciferol level
  3. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels with a lower level of sclerosin
  4. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels with a higher level of sclerosin
  5. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels with no effect on level of sclerosin
A
  1. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels with a lower level of sclerostin.

Sclerostin anatognizes bone formation by BMP pathway, therefore causes decreased bone formation. When gene for sclerostin is mutated, you get bone overgrowth.
