Question 1

Which is not a principle of compound fracture treatment?

Accepted Answer

Immediate wound closure is not a principle of compound fracture treatment; instead, delayed closure is often preferred to reduce infection risk.

Question 2

Medial meniscus is more vulnerable to injury because of?

Accepted Answer

The medial meniscus is more vulnerable to injury because it is more firmly attached to the tibial collateral ligament, which restricts its movement and makes it less able to accommodate stress, leading to a higher risk of injury.

Question 3

Injury to the popliteal artery in fracture lower end of femur is often due to?

Accepted Answer

The distal fragment of the fractured femur can displace posteriorly and press against the popliteal artery, leading to injury.

Question 4

In transverse fracture of the patella, the treatment is

Accepted Answer

Wire fixation is the preferred treatment for transverse fractures of the patella to ensure proper alignment and stabilization for healing.

Question 5

Blood coagulation profile in pregnancy is

Accepted Answer

During pregnancy, there is an increase in fibrinogen levels by 10-25% as part of the body's preparation for potential bleeding during childbirth.

Question 6

In classical caesarean section more chances of rupture of uterus is in

Accepted Answer

In a classical caesarean section, the incision is made in the upper uterine segment, which is more prone to rupture in subsequent pregnancies due to the nature of the muscle fibers and the healing process.

Question 7

The most preferred treatment of fracture of neck of femur in a young person is

Accepted Answer

Closed reduction and internal fixation is the most preferred treatment for a fracture of the neck of femur in a young person because it aims to preserve the natural joint and bone, promoting healing and reducing the risk of complications associated with prosthetic joints.

Question 8

Position of immobilization in fracture both bones of forearm in an adult male will be

Accepted Answer

The answer of Position of immobilization in fracture both bones...

Question 9

True about clavicular fracture is

Accepted Answer

Clavicular fractures often heal with some degree of malunion, but this typically does not impair function. Most clavicular fractures occur at the middle third, not the medial third, and are usually due to a fall on the shoulder, not the elbow. Comminuted fractures are not the most common type.

Question 10

Excision of fractured fragment is practised in all fractures except

Accepted Answer

The answer of Excision of fractured fragment is practised in...

Question 11

In 65 year old male with history of fracture neck of femur 6 weeks old, treatment of choice

Accepted Answer

Hemiarthroplasty is the treatment of choice for a 65-year-old male with a 6-week-old fracture of the neck of the femur, especially when the fracture is displaced or there is a high risk of non-union or avascular necrosis. This procedure replaces the femoral head and neck with a prosthesis, providing pain relief and improved function.

Question 12

In Colles fracture not seen in

Accepted Answer

The answer of In Colles fracture not seen in
...

Question 13

A lady presents with a history of fracture radius, which was put on plaster of paris casts for 4 weeks. After that she developed swelling of hands with shiny skin. What is the most likely diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), is characterized by a triad of pain, swelling, and vasomotor dysfunction (leading to changes in skin color and temperature), often following an injury or immobilization. The presentation of swelling and shiny skin after cast removal is typical for CRPS.

Question 14

Complication of fracture scaphoid is

Accepted Answer

Avascular necrosis of the proximal part is a common complication of scaphoid fractures due to its retrograde blood supply, making the proximal segment particularly vulnerable to ischemia following injury.

Question 15

Which fracture neck of femur has a poor prognosis

Accepted Answer

Intra capsular fractures of the femur have a poor prognosis due to the high risk of disrupting the blood supply to the femoral head, leading to complications such as avascular necrosis.

Question 16

Fracture blisters commonly appear on how many days ?

Accepted Answer

Fracture blisters typically appear within 3-5 days after the injury due to swelling and pressure on the skin.

Question 17

If the greater tuberosity of the humerus is lost, which of the following movements will be affected

Accepted Answer

The greater tuberosity of the humerus is the site of attachment for the rotator cuff muscles, including the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor. These muscles are primarily responsible for abduction and lateral (external) rotation of the shoulder. Therefore, if the greater tuberosity is lost, movements such as abduction and lateral rotation would be affected.

Question 18

The most common cause of a sprained ankle is injury of

Accepted Answer

The anterior talofibular ligament is the most commonly injured ligament in ankle sprains, typically due to inversion injuries.

Question 19

In the case of 65 year old person with fracture neck offemur the treatment of choice is

Accepted Answer

Replacement of the head and neck of the femur with a prosthesis is the treatment of choice for a 65-year-old person with a fractured neck of the femur, as it allows for quicker mobilization and reduces the risk of complications associated with non-union or avascular necrosis.

Question 20

Tardy ulnar nerve palsy is seen in :

Accepted Answer

Tardy ulnar nerve palsy is often associated with cubitus valgus, which can develop after a fracture or injury around the elbow, leading to delayed onset of ulnar nerve symptoms.
