Description

1-hour session covering 20 MCQ questions on high-yield topics within trauma and orthopaedic surgery.

To match exam conditions, you will be given 80 seconds to answer each question via an anonymous poll. Once the 80 seconds are up, we will then go through the possible options, explaining which one is correct and why.

It will all be done anonymously via polls, with no expectation for you to have your cameras and microphones on. However, please feel free to ask questions in the chat, or unmute yourself if you’d like!

T&O Progress T est Revision ‘A game of 20 questions’Overview of the session 20 MCQ Questions Polls Learning Points • Taken from PassMedicine • Will show the question on • Once the correct answer is screen, along with a poll to shown, we’ll walk through • Covers the major themes put your answer why this is the case •will have 80 seconds tost, you • from each question will be answer the question shown • I won’t pick anyone out to answer any questions!Location of Fracture Treatment Undisplaced intracapsular Internal fixation fracture If mobile (not using more than a stick) - Total hip Displaced intracapsular replacement (THR) fracture If non-mobile - Hemiarthroplasty Intertrochanteric fracture Dynamic hip screw (DHS) Subtrochanteric fracture Intramedullary nail (IM nail) Empty can test - Done for supraspinatus muscles as part of shoulder exam McMurray's test - Done for meniscus tears - Presents very similarly to this - difference is the time for swelling to occur - ACL tear: Immediate - Meniscal: Over time Posterior draw test Lachman’s test - Best test for ?ACL tear - This is done for PCL tears - Mechanism of injury does not suggest PCL tear - Slightly better than anterior draw test - difference is LT is done at Sweep test 20-30 degrees, ADT is at 90 - This checks for effusions around the knee - Whilst it will be positive, it won’t give you a cause Avascular necrosis of the femur - This can be a complication of the initial fracture - Patient has had THR meaning there is no femoral head anyway Iliotibial band syndrome - Presents with hip pain and tight sensation of lateral aspect of the thigh - Typically affects younger people who do long distance running Infection of the joint replacement Aseptic loosening of THR - This is typically an acute complication, unlikely to - Most common reason that THR need to present 18 months later be revised - Presents with hip pain radiating to knee Periprosthetic fracture - Fracture involving the new replacement - Unlikely as patient is able to weight bear and can walk Bony mets - Worth thinking of for OSCE’s, but wouldn't explain infective picture as easily Inflammatory spondyloarthropathy - Can present as back pain with raised CRP, but more likely to involve multiple joints - Would also have joint pain and stiffness that’s worse in the morning and improves with activity Lumbar disc herniation Discitis - Typically acute onset pain following strenuous exercise, associated with neurological deficits at - Low grade fever, elevated WBC + CRP - History of IV drug use the associated spinal level Spinal fracture - Associated with either trauma or osteoporosis - No fracture on MRI - Wouldn’t explain infective picture Lateral epicondylitis - Does not involve ulnar nerve Median nerve entrapment syndrome - Does not involve ulnar nerve Radial tunnel syndrome - Does not involve ulnar nerve Cubital tunnel syndrome Medial epicondylitis - Compression of ulnar nerve - Tendinitis of common flexor tendon - This is made worse with flexion of the - Can involve ulnar nerve elbow - This is made worse with flexion and pronation of the wrist Routine referral to neurosurgery - 2nd line management is referral to spinal surgery for an injection/operation Start oxycodone - Opiates should not routinely be given for back pain (poor efficacy + dependence) Emergency admission to neurosurgery NSAIDs + physiotherapy - Patient is stable and no signs of cauda equina syndrome - Patient has sciatica along L5 distribution - Conservative management of NSAIDs, physio is 1st line, and successful in 90% of Reassurance and discharge cases - Small risk of worsening symptoms and progression to cauda equina syndrome Femoral nerve - Loss of sensation in anterior and medial aspect of thigh - Weakness in hip flexion and extension Obturator nerve - Associated with anterior hip dislocations - Weakness with thigh abduction - Loss of sensation of anterior aspect of thigh Pudendal nerve - Sensory impairment to external genitalia Sciatic nerve - Bladder and bowel dysfunction - Common complication of posterior hip dislocations Tibial nerve - Foot drop is explained by a damaged - Altered sensation in the foot common peroneal nerve, which comes off the sciatic nerve Rotator cuff tears - No weakness of the rotator cuff muscles Glenohumeral instability - Can lead to impingement type syndrome but history is classical for subacromial impingement AC degeneration - Associated with popping, swelling, clicking, grinding and a positive scarf test Subacromial impingement - Pain with shoulder abduction from 90-120 Calcific tendonitis degrees is typical of impingement - Extreme pain on palpation, prohibiting examination Biopsy - Will cause damage to local area - Cannot tell you the depth of the infection CT - Appropriate as a second-line investigation if MRI is unavailable Repeat examination - Will not provide any further information MRI Ultrasound - 1st line investigation for osteomylitis - Poor method for imaging the boneLocation of Fracture Treatment Undisplaced intracapsular Internal fixation fracture If mobile (not using more than a stick) - Total hip Displaced intracapsular replacement (THR) fracture If non-mobile - Hemiarthroplasty Intertrochanteric fracture Dynamic hip screw (DHS) Subtrochanteric fracture Intramedullary nail (IM nail)Thank you!
