SHARK-O
EXTERNAL FIXATION
100
This family of elements contains Cl and I
What is the Halogens
100
This intrinsic muscle group of the foot does NOT have an osseous origin
What are the lumbricals?
100
This class of antibiotics is known for their potential to induce resistance to Clindamycin
What are the macrolides
100
If confronted by a shark, it has been documented that its weakest points are the gills and the eyes. This is the first line treatment when dealing with an acute Charcot event
What is immobilization
100
This is the diameter of ring used for a “typical” tibial block
What is 180mm
200
This family of elements contains Li and K
What are the Alkali Metals
200
These three muscles of the lower extremity make up the “Pes Anserina”
What are Gracilis, Semitendinosus, and Sartorius
200
This beta-lactam antibiotic is useful only when treating gram-negative organisms
Aztreonam
200
Sharks can be classified into 8 different orders. This Charcot classification system is based on affected joints, the ankle pattern being Type IV
Sanders and Frykeberg
200
This is the typical size K-wire we use for ring fixation
What is 0.062in
300
This compound can be found in varying levels in the blood, especially in our patients:
C6H12O6
What is glucose?
300
This muscle of the posterior compartment of the lower leg does NOT have an origin on the Tibia
What is Flexor Hallucis Longus
300
This organism, typically found between the toes, will produce a “coral-red” fluorescence under a Wood’s lamp
What is Corynebacterium Minutissimum
300
You can gauge a shark’s age by counting the rings in their vertebrae. On a ring fixator, the wires can be tensioned up to this level
What is 130kg
300
This device may be used to impart stability to your construct when inserting a half-pin
What is a Rancho Cube
400
This fatty acid is the precursor molecule to the Leukotrienes, Thromboxanes and Prostaglandins
What is Arachidonic Acid
400
Along with the Flexor Accessorius, this intrinsic muscle of the foot is innervated by the lateral plantar nerve before it splits into it’s deep and superficial divisions
What is abductor digiti minimi
400
This protective polysaccharide layer, notably formed by Staph. Epidermidis, can cause dire complications in total joint replacement surgeries
What is Glycocalyx
400
Sharks have no bones, as their skeletons are composed completely of cartilage. This class of medications has been studied for treating Charcot, due to its mechanism of osteoclast inhibition.
What are bisphosphonates
400
When applying an external fixator with a future IM nail in mind, the tibial half pin should be placed this distance distal to the anticipated end of the nail
What is the diameter of the tibia
500
This enzyme is the rate-limiting step of Glycolysis
What is Phosphofructokinase-1
500
This interosseus muscle of the foot adducts the second toe to the midline of the body
What is the 1st Dorsal interosseus
500
This “chocolatey” agar is used as the primary growth medium for culture and isolation of gram-negative diplococci
What is Thayer-Martin Agar
500
Unlike sharks, who are mostly cold-blooded, a Charcot foot can be very warm. Suspicion for acute charcot event is high when the temperature difference between feet reaches this level
What is 2C / 4F
500
This is Dr. Pinzur's first name
What is Michael
