Common Sx: Soft Tissue & Ortho QUIZ Flashcards
When performing an abdominal surgery and the patient is in dorsal recumbency with a midline incision, a routine 3-layer closure includes:
1. linea alba, mammary and skin layers
2. peritoneum, subcuticular and skin layers
3. linea alba, subcutaneous and skin layers
4. peritoneum, subcutaneous and skin layers
- linea alba, subcutaneous and skin layers
An Open Castration
1. is another term for vasectomy (clipping the vas deferens)
2. means the tunics are incised and the spermatic cord and vessels are ligated separately
3. is faster than a closed castration
4. means the skin incision is left open to drain
- means the tunics are incised and the spermatic cord and vessels are ligated separately
Clinical indications for ovariohysterectomy include:
1. behavior/ clinical sign modification in the female
2. prevention of mammary cancer in dogs
3. prevention of unwanted neonates
4. all choices are correct
- all choices are correct
A type of fracture that occurs through a growth plate is:
1. a torus fracture
2. a physeal (Salter) fracture
3. not possible, growth plates do not fracture.
4. a greenstick fracture
- a physeal (Salter) fracture
Name the first three fracture types:
- Transverse
- Oblique
- Spiral
Which of the following is true regarding intramedullary (IM) pins?
1. They never move and so risk for migration is low.
2. They can be combined with orthopedic wires, screws or plates for fracture repair
3. They are superior to plates for bone fixation.
4. They must be used alone when used as internal fixation for fractured bones
- They can be combined with orthopedic wires, screws or plates for fracture repair
For an intestinal resection and anastomosis the following equipment is required:
1. Two soft tissue packs, a bordizzo and lap sponges
2. One soft tissue pack, a Balfour retractor and lap sponges
3. One orthopedic pack, a Balfour retractor and lap sponges
4. Two soft tissue packs, a Balfour retractor and lap sponges
- Two soft tissue packs, a Balfour retractor and lap sponges
Instrumentation for a cystotomy includes:
1. One soft tissue pack and a bladder spoon
2. Two soft tissue packs and a bladder spoon
3. One soft tissue pack, a bladder spoon and an osteotome to split the pelvis
4. Two soft tissue packs
- One soft tissue pack and a bladder spoon
Which of the following is done if contamination occurs intra-operatively?
1. Copious lavage, suction and antibiotics
2. If aseptic technique is practiced, intraoperative contamination can’t occur
3. only copious lavage of the contaminated area with sterile saline
4. only systemic antibiotics are needed
- Copious lavage, suction and antibiotics
When taking radiographs to evaluate a fracture prior to repair (diagnostic):
1. all choices are correct
2. Radiographs will be taken pre-op and post-op
3. Radiograph the joints above and below the fracture
4. Always take at least 2 views of the fracture site
- all choices are correct
General anesthesia is required for diagnostic radiographs of a fracture prior to fixation because:
1. general anesthesia isn’t required if the tech does procedure quickly
2. high detail images are needed and manipulation of the site will be painful
3. high detail (no movement) images are needed
4. general anesthesia isn’t required because excellent images can be achieved through bandages
- high detail images are needed and manipulation of the site will be painful
Kirschner-Ehmer (KE) Apparatus is:
1. an external fixation device for fracture repair
2. an internal fixation device for fracture repair
3. not utilized in veterinary medicine
4. a patient positioner for radiographs of a fracture site
- an external fixation device for fracture repair
Pre-op Radiograph of Right Hind Leg of Canine. There is no skin damage to the leg.
Describe the fracture with at least five correct terms
a. Bone: Right Tibia (and ulna)
b. Type: Transverse
c. Displaced or aligned: Displaced
d. Location on bone: Diaphyseal
e. Skin open/closed: Closed (skin intact)
