100

A technique used to evaluate an injury.

What is HOPS?

200

Most common athletic injury caused by an MOI of Ankle Inversion.

What is a Lateral Ankle Sprain?

200

What is an ankle dislocation? 

200

The muscle and tendon group that is most palpable on the anterior surface on the lower leg and ankle with active dorsiflexion. 

What are the anterior tibialis tendon and muscle? (or tibialis anterior muscle/tendon)

200

The two directions of the Talar Tilt test.

What is Inversion and Eversion of the Talar Tilt Test? (just saying, 'inversion and eversion' is fine too)

200

The two ligaments that would likely be injured in a lateral ankle sprain. (NO ABBREVIATIONS) 

What is the calcaneofibular ligament and anterior talofibular ligament?

300

The injury most likely to have occured with the patient's MOI is forced plantar flexion with inversion. 

What is a High Ankle Sprain?

300


What is a tibia and fibula fracture? (ti/fib or fibula and tibia fracture is okay too)

300

Bony landmarks on the distal ends of the tibia and fibula. 

What are the medial and lateral malleolus? (lateral and medial malleolus is fine too)

300

The special test consisting of the examiner compressing the length of the patient's fibula. 

What is the Compression Test?

300

The ligament being tested when the examiner places an inversion force to the patient's talus.

What is the Calcaneofibular Ligament? 

400

An overuse injury where the patient usually complains of pn on bottom of foot, first thing in the morning. 

What is Plantar Fasciitis? 

400

(The visual observation of a general type of ankle sprain.)

What is a Lateral Ankle Sprain? (sprain of CF and/or ATF is fine too)

400

Where a patient would have the most pn with palpations if they are suffering a Jone's Fx.

What is the Base of the 5th Metatarsal?

400

The examiner places a passive dorsiflexion force with external rotation to the patient's ankle and lower leg. 

What is the Kleiger's Test?

400

The Ligament injured in a High Ankle Sprain. 

What is the syndesmosis? 

500

The 5 P's of Compartment Syndrome.

What is: pulselessness, palor, paralysis, pain, and paresthesia? (any order is fine)

500

(the observation most associated with compartment syndrome)

What is pitting edema?

500
The tendons most palpable with active eversion of the ankle. 

What are the peroneal tendons? 

500
The patient is prone, and the examiner passively activates the gastrocnemius. 

What is the Thompson Test?

500

Another injury likely to occur along with soft tissue damage in an ankle joint dislocation. 

What is ankle/ lower leg fracture? ('fracture' is okay too)
