Q

What are the advantages of bone-patellar-bone grafts?

A

Faster healing
No need to take hamstrings
Can take however much patellar tendon as you want (thickness)

Q

Where do most degenerative meniscal tears occur?

A

Posterolateral horn of the medial meniscus

21
Q

Double PCL sign?

A

Bucket handle tear of meniscus

22
Q

Treatment of asymptomatic discoid meniscus?

A

Leave it

23
Q

What is the functional deficit following distal biceps tendon rupture?

A

40-50% loss of supination strenth
30% loss of elbow flexion strength
15% loss of grip strength

24
Q

What are the two approaches to distal biceps tendon repair?

A

One incision

Two incision

25
Q

What is the most common complication of distal biceps tendon repair, regardless of technique?

A

Lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve injury

26
Q

What is the main advantage of two incision approach to distal biceps repair?

A

Less risk to the radial nerve

27
Q

What ligament connects the two menisci?

A

Transverse (intermeniscal) ligament

28
Q

What ligaments attach the menisci to the periphery?

A

Coronary ligaments

29
Q

Define Isometric

A

Constant muscle length and tension that is proportional to external load

  • Causes muscle hypertrophy
  • Pushing against stationary object
30
Q

Define Isotonic

A

Constant force through ROM

- Bicep curls

31
Q

Define Open Chain

A

Exercise where distal segment is not fixed

32
Q

Define Closed Chain

A

Exercise where distal segment is fixed

33
Q

Isokinetic

A

Muscle contracts at a constant velocity

Requires Cybex

34
Q

Concentric

A

Muscle fibers shorten

35
Q

Eccentric

A

Force remains constant as muscle fibers lengthen

36
Q

Plyometric

A

Rapid Concentric-eccentric shortening
Good for sports that require power
Box jumps

37
Q

Type IIA/B fast twitch muscle

A

Anaerobic:

  • IIA: Anaerobic & aerobic
  • IIB: Anaerobic
38
Q

Type I slow twitch muscle

A

Aerobic

39
Q

What bundles of ACL/PCL are right in flexion?

A

Both of the anterior bundles

  • PCL: anterolateral (PAL)
  • ACL: anteromedial
40
Q

Grading of ACL tear (Lachman’s test)

A
Grade 1-3, A & B
A: Firm endpoint
B: no endpoint
IA/B: 0-5mm translation
IIA/B: 5-10mm translation
IIIA/B: >10mm translation
41
Q

What are the different classification systems for cartilage damage?

A

ICRS: International Cartilage Repair Society
Outerbridge
Lysholm
Noyes

42
Q

Describe ICRS Grading:

A

International Cartilage Repair Society for cartilage damage

0: Normal
1: Nearly normal: Soft indentations or superficial fissures/cracks
2: Abnormal: lesions 50% cartilage depth
4: Severely abnormal: through subchondral bone

43
Q

Describe Outerbridge grading:

A
Cartilage damage grading
0: normal
I: cartilage softening or swelling
II: Partial thickness damage (fissures etc) that does NOT reach subchondral bone and 1.5cm
IV: Exposed subchondral bone
44
Q

Where can the suprascapular nerve get impinged?

A
Supraglenoid notch (by supraglenoid ligament)
Spinoglenoid notch (by spinoglenoid ligament)
45
Q

What will suprascapular impingement at the suprascapular notch cause?

A

Weakness in BOTH supraspinatus & infraspinatus

46
Q

What will suprascpular impingement at the spinoglenoid notch cause?

A

Weakness in infraspinatus only

- Branch to supraspinatus has already taken off

47
Q

What are the types of meniscal tears?

A
Vertical/longitudinal
Bucket handle
Radial
Horizontal
Oblique/Flap/Parrot beak
Complex
48
Q

What are good prognostic factors for meniscal repair?

A

Peripheral (red zone)
- AKA lower rim width, the distance between edge of tear and edge of meniscus
Vertical/longitudinal tear
1-4cm in length
Acute tear repaired in combination with ACL tear
