BONY BANKART - HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TREAT THE FOLLOWING LESIONS IN A 25 YR OLD (FOLLOWING THE BOORMAN DOGMA OF SOFT TISSUE FOR SOFT TISSUE AND BONE FOR BONE)?
• Attempt at ORIF • then I would do a Latarjet
DESCRIBE ANATOMICALLY HOW YOU WILL PLACE YOU TUNNELS FOR ACL RECONSTRUCTION
For a single bundle ACL recon, going from center of origin to center of insertion (anatomic)
Femoral
- center of femoral ACL origin: 1.7mm proximal (posterior on scope) to bifurcate (resident’s) ridge and 6.1mm posterior to intercondylar ridge (inferior on scope)
- to confirm this position, also ensure its ~8.5mm anterior to the posterior cartilage and between 11-8 o’ clock
- About 40% from the back, 60% from the front when viewing from scope
Tibia
- center of tibial insertion is 7.5mm medial to anterior horn of lateral meniscus, 7.9mm lateral to medial plateau cartilage, and 8mm anterior to PCL
- Posterior aspect of the anterior horn of medial meniscus (Liew)
Radiographically
- tunnel centered in AP direction at 41% from anterior and 47% from medial

What are 7 ways to optimize conditions in distraction Osteogenensis?
Low energy osteotomy Minimal soft tissue stripping at corticotomy Stable external fixation Latency period 5-7 days Distraction at 1 mm/day divided into 4 Neutral fixation interval - consolidation Normal physiologic use of the extremity during the process Miller’s page 17

What is the. Safe zone for acetabular screw placement and what structures are at risk in each zone?
Postero superior (safe)Sciatic nervesuperior gluteal vessels posteroinferiorsciatic nerveinferior gluteal artery and nerveinternal pudendal nerve and vesseluse screw antero-inferior (Unsafe - danger zone)obturator nerve, artery and vein (artery most at risk) anteo-superior (Unsafe - death zone)external iliac vessels ( vein most at risk)
WHAT ARE 3 CRITERIA TO DIAGNOSE POST RADIATION SARCOMA?
- The histological features of the original lesion and PRS are completely different.- PRS is located within the field of irradiation.- Patients with cancer syndromes such as Li-Fraumeni and Rothmund-Thomson are excluded.- The latent period (period between initiation of radiotherapy and histologic diagnosis of second neoplasm) is more than 5 years. Manny’s notes
Regarding Patellar Clunk Syndrome What type of TKR’S are affected? What causes it? In what degree of flexion does it occur? What is the treatment?
PS Fibrous tissue posterior to the quads above the superior pole of the patella catches in the box when the knee flexes/extends. 30-45 degrees arthroscopic or open debridement
LIST 6 SARCOMAS THAT METASTASIZE TO LYMPH NODES
SCREAM• Synovial cell• Clear Cell Sarcoma• Rhabdomyosarcoma• Epitheloid• Angiosarcoma• Myxoid liposacomaFrom Mike’s notes
MDI - HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TREAT THE FOLLOWING LESIONS IN A 25 YR OLD (FOLLOWING THE BOORMAN DOGMA OF SOFT TISSUE FOR SOFT TISSUE AND BONE FOR BONE)?
• Non-op x 1 • then arthroscopic bankart repair using suture anchor construct
What 5 Factors can Contribute to Catastrophic Wear in TKA?
PE thickness (>=8mm is better) Articular geometry (flatter = worse) PE sterilization (oxygen environment = worse) PE machining (compression molding = better) Sagittal plane kinematics (sliding = worse)
COMPLICATIONS OF MENISCAL REPAIR
Saphenous neuropathy (7%) Arthrofibrosis (6%) Effusion (2%) Peroneal neuropathy (1%) Infection (1%)
WHAT IS THE BEST LABORATORY TEST TO “RULE IN” INFECTION AND WHAT IS THE BEST TEST TO “RULE OUT” INFECTION?
• Neutropenia (WBC • CRP is best to rule out infection
LIST SIX SIGNS/SYMPTOMS OF HYPERCALCEMIA

LIST 6 MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE A PEDIATRIC RADIAL NECK FRACTURE
Closed reduction Techniqueso Patterson’s Technique: traction with forearm in supination and apply a varus force and manipulate the fragment with a thumb.o Israeli technique: Flex the arm to 90 degrees in supination and put a thumb on the radial head. Pronate the arm and push the RH back in. If the patient can achieve 60 pro and 60 sup, it is a success.o Esmarch Bandage (Chambers technique): wrap the extremity tightly from distal to proximal.Percutaneous Reductionso Perc pin: Single perc Steinmann pin as close to the lateral border of the olecranon as possible.o Wallace Method: Periosteal elevator plated perc down the lateral border of the olecranon. Lever the distal fragment laterally and the proximal fragment medially with a thumb. Can hold the reduction if unstable with a perc K wire.o Metaizeau: Percutaneous bent intramedullary rod from radial styloid proximally. Hook the displaced radial head and rotate it into position.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH POSITIVE OUTCOMES WITH PHYSEAL BAR RESECTION
- Younger presentation- Smaller the bridge- Smaller the deformity- Central bridge- Shorter the time interval between injury and surgery Meningococcal septicemia do worse
