Pretest Anatomy

Question 1

Osgood-schlatter disease is common in young adolescents why?

Answer 1

Because their epiphyseal plates are still open

Question 2

Osgood-Schlatter disease typically presents in athletic adolescents going through a growth spurt. Chronic avulsion can cause?

Answer 2

The proximal patellar tendon insertion from the tibial tubercle (the insertion is elevated)

Question 3

What test reproduces ACL strain?

Answer 3

Anterior Drawer Test

Question 4

The suprapatellar bursa extends…

Answer 4

under the quadriceps tendon and the patella

Question 5

Prepatellar Bursitis can become irritated by doing what action

Answer 5

Kneeling because it is compressed anterior to the patellar

Question 6

Blood to the forearm can best be limited by compressing which artery that runs medial to the humerus in the arm

Answer 6

Brachial artery that crosses the first rib along the brachial plexus

Question 7

Why would compressing at the cubital fossa not yield good results in stopping a forearm bleed?

Answer 7

There is extensive anastomoses around the elbow

Question 8

Triceps tendon reflex mediated by

Answer 8

C7

Question 9

Herniated Discs (soft tissue structures) are best studied with what radiological imaging?

Answer 9

MRI (CT not good for soft tissue)

Question 10

umbilicus dermatome level

Answer 10

T10

Question 11

nipple

Answer 11

T5

Question 12

xiphoid process dermatome

Answer 12

T7

Question 13

where does the spinal cord terminate?

Answer 13

L1

Question 14

Trendelenburg Gait is a drop of the pelvis on the unaffected side typically due to the loss of what nerve to the glut med and min?

Answer 14

Superior Gluteal Nerve

Question 15

Where does the radial nerve and deep brachial vessels un on the humerus?

Answer 15

On a posterior groove on the humeral shaft.

Question 16

Injury to the radial nerve that runs on the posterior humeral shaft would cause

Answer 16

Wrist-drop because of paralysis/no nerve conduction to the extensors, supinator, abductor pollicis longus,

Question 17

Thickening of what aponeurosis causes Duputryens contracture

Answer 17

Palmar Aponeurosis

Question 18

What nerve would be at risk with a fracture at the surgical neck of the humerus?

Answer 18

Axillary Nerve (C5, C6) as well as posterior circumflex humeral vessels

Question 19

Why is the common fibular nerve at risk if you hit your shin?

Answer 19

The common fibular nerve wraps around the fibular shaft proximal to the head placing it close to the skin and likely to be damaged.
