Which of these bones does not contribute to the knee joint?
- A.
Femur
- B.
Tibia
- C.
Fibula
Correct Answer
C. FibulaExplanation
The fibula is the bone that does not contribute to the knee joint. The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). The fibula, on the other hand, is a smaller bone that runs alongside the tibia but does not directly participate in the knee joint. Instead, it primarily serves as a support for muscles and provides stability to the lower leg.Rate this question:

With knee extension in non weight bearing , there is External Rotation of tibia.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When performing knee extension in a non-weight bearing position, the tibia (shin bone) externally rotates. This means that the tibia rotates outwardly, away from the midline of the body. This is a correct statement as the tibia does indeed externally rotate during knee extension in a non-weight bearing position.Rate this question:

Tests for ligament damage in the knee
Correct Answer
Apley's Distraction TestExplanation
Apley's Distraction Test is a diagnostic test used to assess for ligament damage in the knee. During the test, the patient lies prone with the knee flexed at 90 degrees. The examiner stabilizes the patient's thigh and applies a downward force on the lower leg while rotating it internally and externally. The test is considered positive if the patient experiences pain or apprehension, indicating possible ligamentous injury. Apley's Distraction Test specifically evaluates the integrity of the collateral ligaments, which are commonly injured in knee trauma.Rate this question:

Tests for ACL tear in knee (2 possible answers, enter 1)
Correct Answer
Anterior Drawer Test
Lachman's TestExplanation
The Anterior Drawer Test and Lachman's Test are both used to assess the stability of the knee joint and determine if there is an ACL tear. The Anterior Drawer Test involves the examiner pulling the tibia forward while the knee is flexed at 90 degrees. If there is excessive forward movement of the tibia compared to the femur, it indicates a positive test for an ACL tear. Lachman's Test involves the examiner stabilizing the femur while applying an anterior force to the tibia. If there is excessive anterior translation of the tibia compared to the femur, it suggests an ACL tear. Both tests are commonly used in clinical practice to evaluate knee injuries.Rate this question:

Tests for a meniscal tear in knee, notice audible click
Correct Answer
McMurray TestExplanation
The McMurray Test is a diagnostic test used to assess for a meniscal tear in the knee. During the test, the examiner flexes the patient's knee and then rotates the lower leg while applying pressure to the joint. If a meniscal tear is present, the patient may experience pain, clicking, or popping sensations. Therefore, the presence of an audible click during the McMurray Test suggests a possible meniscal tear in the knee.Rate this question:

Tests for PCL tear in knee
Correct Answer
Posterior Drawer TestExplanation
The Posterior Drawer Test is a diagnostic test used to assess the integrity of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee. During the test, the patient lies flat on their back with the knee flexed at 90 degrees. The examiner then applies a posterior force to the tibia while stabilizing the femur. If there is excessive posterior translation of the tibia compared to the unaffected knee, it suggests a PCL tear. This test helps in identifying PCL injuries and is commonly used in clinical settings to aid in the diagnosis of knee injuries.Rate this question:
- 16.
Tests for medial collateral ligament of the knee
Correct Answer
Valgus Stress TestExplanation
The Valgus Stress Test is a diagnostic test used to assess the integrity of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee. During this test, the examiner applies a lateral force to the knee while the leg is in a slightly flexed position. A positive test result is indicated by pain or excessive movement in the knee, suggesting a possible MCL injury. This test helps to evaluate the stability and function of the MCL, which is an important ligament for maintaining the stability of the knee joint.Rate this question:
- 17.
Tests for Lateral collateral ligament of the knee
Correct Answer
Varus Stress TestExplanation
The Varus Stress Test is a diagnostic test used to assess the integrity of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the knee. During this test, the examiner applies a medial force to the knee joint while the leg is in a slightly flexed position. A positive test result is indicated by pain or excessive movement on the lateral side of the knee, suggesting a possible LCL injury. This test helps in the evaluation and diagnosis of LCL sprains or tears, providing valuable information for treatment planning and rehabilitation.Rate this question:

Tests for DVT
Correct Answer
Homan's SignExplanation
Homan's Sign is a test used to assess for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It involves the patient lying flat on their back and the examiner passively dorsiflexing the patient's foot. A positive Homan's Sign is indicated by pain in the calf or the back of the knee, which may suggest the presence of a blood clot in the leg. This test is not definitive for diagnosing DVT, but it can be used as a screening tool to determine the need for further diagnostic testing.Rate this question:

Which of the following are tough bands of tissue that connectbones to each other?
- A.
Ligaments
- B.
Tendons
- C.
Retinaculum
Correct Answer
A. LigamentsExplanation
Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to each other. They provide stability and support to the joints, preventing excessive movement and potential injuries. Ligaments are made up of strong, fibrous connective tissue that can withstand tension and stress. Unlike tendons, which connect muscles to bones, ligaments specifically connect bones to each other. Retinaculum, on the other hand, is a band of connective tissue that holds tendons in place, typically found in areas where tendons cross over joints.Rate this question:

What is Wolf's Law
- A.
Tissue adapts to forces exerted upon them
- B.
Don't go out on a full moon
- C.
Ligaments will grow too fast
- D.
Muscles atrophy if you lift light weight
Correct Answer
A. Tissue adapts to forces exerted upon themExplanation
Wolf's Law states that bone and other connective tissues will adapt and remodel themselves in response to the forces and loads placed upon them. This means that when a bone is subjected to increased stress or load, it will remodel itself by becoming thicker and stronger. On the other hand, when a bone is not subjected to enough stress or load, it will become weaker and more prone to atrophy. Therefore, the correct answer is "Tissue adapts to forces exerted upon them."Rate this question:
