9 days
what is granada agar used for
to isolate group B strep
what happens to disc during degeneration
increase Colllagen 1, and NON-enzyme x-links (this process increased adv glycation end products); Collagen 2 DECREASES;
increased cross linking in UHMWPE does what
decreases wear and decreased TOUGHness
how is primary bone healing accomplished
haversion remodeling
what enzyme is responsible for tumor invasion
MMPs - breakdown basement layer and interstitial stroma
what modality is BEST for detecting physeal bar
T1 MRI - bc wil show unossified bars too
Injury to what zone of physis causes growth arrest
resting zone - closes to epiphysis
what is order of zones of physis
epiphysis - resting > proliferation > hypertrophic (maturation, degen, provisional calicifcation) > metaphysis
where do most physeal fractures occur
in hypertrophic zone bw Provisional Ca and metaphysis
how to manage peds growh arrest from distal radius
simple bar - excise and fat; if small arrest in teenager epiphysiodesis of ulna is enough if asymptomatic) ; if large - corrective osteotomy
what is fatigue wear
progressive mechanical use and result of repetiive cyclic loads
post trauma ankle OA has similar impact on QoL as
ESRD and CHF_
pagets gene mutation
5q35-qter - ubiquitin binding protein sequestosome 1
what effect does motion have on tenon healing
collagen ORGANIZTION more than production
what condition shows tgf-beta excess
marfans
what is oncogenic osteomalacia
seen with osteoblastoma, fibrous dysplasia; and fibromas - FGF23 excess leads to poor phosphate resorption in kidneys and inhibits 1-alpha hydroxylase (low Phos and low 1,25 vit D)
what is pathogenisis of atlantoaxial sublux in rhA
Transverse lig becomes incompetent and Anterior ADI is wide
polylactic vs polyglycolic acids
used to make resorbable implants - PG has higher stiffness and resorbs FASTER 6-12 months vs 24 months for PL
what embroynic structure forms the disk
sclerotome
best stain for cartilage
safranin O and alcian blue
what is mode of failure for interference screw
graft tear, pull out or slippage
what is equation for number needed to treat
1/Absolute risk reduction
best mri for acute trauma
STIR - better than T2 bc STIR will supress fat and marrow edema
what is result of excess muscle-ski motion at ex-fix pin
increased inflammation and thus more pin site infections
how to double ex-fix pin stiffness without changing pin

osteoclasts staining via
cathepksin K stain or TRAP
increased pin spread does what to a ex-fix

in compression plating which screws get max stress
those FURTHEST from fracture - this is opposite of bridge plating
how to improve torsional strain in plate
4 screws on either side; no more improvement after 4
best rigidity construct for bridge plate
lowest working distance, and one more screw close to fracture, then one far away - like ex-fix
what is definition of frailty
decreased physio reserve and inability to respond to stressors

what counterintuitive hypercoag state occurs after starting warfarin
rapid rise in INR after unopposed warfarin in post-arthroplasty - has to do with rapid consumption of protein C
other names for thromboplastin
TF, Platelet TF, CD 142
which shoulder arthroplasty patients get LMWH
if higher risk and not mobilized; ASA and antiplatelet alone is NOT enough
