Max amount of 0.25% marcaine can a 40kg child receive.

40mL

We know  0.25% marcaine has a max dose of 2.5mg/kg

(40kg*2.5mg/kg)*(1mL/2.5mg)=40mL

100

65M fisher from FL with 1.8mm thick lesion. Name the surgical margin and staging procedure.


2 cm margin + sentinel lymph node biopsy

200

Describe the treatment.

miniplates to NF, aperture 



MCT is the pivotal soft tissue in NOE area, which supports the canthus, enables proper apposition between the eyelid and the globe, and performs as the lacrimal pump

As a general rule, the intercanthal distance should be overcorrected, i.e., narrowed beyond the normal intercanthal distance to compensate for the lateralization that inevitably occurs postoperatively.

The bright green bone.

palatine bone

200

closed tendon injury in the hand among athletes.

Mallet finger

In burn pts, the acute cause of death vs long term cause of death.

1. inhalation injury

2. sepsis

A 2-month-old boy was found to have a chest wall mass after birth. The mass became progressively indurated and purpuric. The boy developed profound thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. MRI shows the lesion infiltrating the R lateral chest wall. Histology show spindle cell nodules. 


What does the pt have and what is the treatment?

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon

Tx: vincristine is 1st line; steroids help normalize plt count

* do not give plt transfusion unless bleeding because the vascular lesion will just eat it up 

300

The treatment and proper sequence of fracture repair.

ZMC fracture - treat with 3 point fixation 

ORIF sequence: ZF > assess alignment via SZ > ZM > IOR 

Lastly, arch may be popped out or fixated depending on fx


300

Point to the plane for TAP block. Which nerves are  targeted? 

Spinal nerves T6-L1

300

complication after breast augmentation.

capsular contracture

!!!BONUS 100: what is the MC proposed cause? how could you ppx?

300
What is the critical ischemia time of muscle? skin?

2 hours for muscle, 6 hours for skin

300

S/p BBL in DR with pain & drainage from buttock. Name the growth medium used to culture the most likely bug?



Lowenstein-Jensen(LJ), agar-based media 

400

Exam with +Watson's Test. Describe treatment plan.




scaphoid with proximal pole fx:  cannulated, headless, self-compressing screw (2.4 or 3.0 mm) fro large defects (5mm), anterograde via dorsal approach



+Watson's Test = pressure is applied to the scaphoid tubercle while the wrist is moved from ulnar to radial deviation; a positive result is a painful click, thud, or subluxation of the scaphoid as the pressure is released, indicating a tear in the scapholunate ligamen

400

Name the compartments.

400

cause of free flap failure.

Venous congestion

400

What is the free flap failure rate?

3-5%

400

22F with stab would to R hand. Please describe exam and the 2 injured structures seen in the exam? What is the treatment?

SF FDS injury & low ulnar nerve injury




500

Fall onto his right hand, with pressure on the thumb and index fingers resulting in metacarpophalangeal pain, swelling and functional limitation.

What is the best next step?


What is MRI to assess for Stener lesion.


BONUS: what is this lesion? 

500

Which numbers represent the muscles of mastication and what are their names.

What is 

1/4. lateral pterygoid

2/3. medial pterygoid

9/10. temporalis

11. masseter

500

site of tendon rupture in rheumatoid arthritis.

Extensor pollicis longus (EPL)

500

Tram flap is to _____ as _____ is to seroma

Tram flap is to fat necrosis as lat flap is to seroma

47M presents with multiple facial injuries following high impact car accident where he slammed the side of his chin/face into steering wheel. Endorses malocclusion. CT max face shows medial displacement of condyle.


Where does he most likely have fractures? In what order should they be repaired and how?

R condylar neck fx and L mandibular body or parasymphysis fx

First, you place pt in pre-morbid occlusion with arch bars and MMF. Then, you repair fx's within dental arch, moving anterior to posterior to guarantee proper occlusion. At the end, you reduce edentulous fractures (ie. condyle)

Can use 1 monocortical mini plate (2.0mm) per fracture making sure to have 3 holes on each side.

**studies no longer support needing rigid fixation of one of the fractures (with 2 mini plates, locking plate or 2.0 recon plate) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37772893/

Then you can treat the condylar neck fracture with MMF for 2 weeks or fixate it with 1-2x 2.0mm miniplates depending on height of fx.
