What is a "meniscal root avulsion"?
100
This percent of obese "total knee replacement" patients lose weight post-operatively.
What is 10-20 percent? Joint preservation begins in the kitchen!
100
This imaging study is equal to MRI for documenting rotator cuff tears, their size and location.
What is shoulder ultrasound?
100
Post injection flare and soft tissue atrophy are side effects of this type of injection.
What is a corticosteroid injection?
200
The "gold standard" physical examination test for distal biceps tendon rupture.
What is the "hook test"?
200
This operation, done concomitantly with meniscal repair, results in best meniscal healing rates.
What is ACL reconstruction?
200
This pro inflammatory cytokine produced by adipose tisssue is implicated in joint destruction.
What is leptin? (adipokine)
200
A labral tear reported on a shoulder MRI of a 65 year old man with shoulder pain.
What is an incidental finding. (normal/ non pathological finding)?
200
This popular and safe type of injectable was removed from the "revised" AAOS knee arthritis treatment guidelines 2012 due to lack of evidence of efficacy.
What is "viscosupplementation"?
300
This potential complication of surgical treatment of distal biceps rupture can limit movement post-operatively.
What is "heterotopic bone formation"? Less likely with single incision approach. Always risk with anterior elbow surgery. Other potential complication relates to PIN injury.
300
Increasing evidence suggests that a degenerative meniscal tears may a sign of this.
What is osteoarthritis?

Measurement of this functional score is equal in obese and non-obese after total knee replacement.
What is "patient satisfaction"?
300
This type of study is required in a 20 year old baseball pitcher reporting shoulder pain and loss of throwing velocity.
What is a gadolinium enhanced MRI? (arthrography)
300
This injectable is used to stimulate/augment a "healing" response and includes many growth factors. More recently being used in arthritic joints.
What is platelet rich plasma injection? (PRP injection)
400
The percent loss of supination strength in untreated distal biceps tendon rupture.
What is 30-40 percent?
400
