    A study by Noble et al. (2005) concluded that patients who had TKA experience…

    • Substantial functional impairment when compared with their age and gender matched peers

    • Functional outcomes similar to that of their age and gender matched peers

    • Substantial functional improvement when compared with their age and gender matched peers

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Substantial functional impairment when compared with their age and gender matched peers
    Explanation
    The study by Noble et al. (2005) found that patients who had total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experienced substantial functional impairment when compared with their age and gender matched peers. This suggests that undergoing TKA did not result in functional outcomes similar to their peers or substantial functional improvement.

    What changes to the original JBCS insert have been made to address the complication of dislocation?

    • Post height increased (on average 2-3mm) and top of post “squared off”

    • Post height decreased (on average 2-3mm) and top of post “rounded off”

    • Post widened (on average 1-2mm)

    • B & C

    Correct Answer
    A. Post height increased (on average 2-3mm) and top of post “squared off”
    Explanation
    The original JBCS insert was modified by increasing the post height by an average of 2-3mm and squaring off the top of the post. This change was made to address the complication of dislocation.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which factors contribute to the rationale for a kinematic knee?  

    • Conventional knee designs do not replicate the normal anatomy of the knee and thus they are unable to restore normal kinematics and muscular efficiency

    • Conventional knee designs do not provide the same levels of satisfaction and return to function as seen in THA

    • The prevalence of younger more demanding patients

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The rationale for a kinematic knee is contributed by all of the factors mentioned. Conventional knee designs do not replicate the normal anatomy of the knee, which leads to an inability to restore normal kinematics and muscular efficiency. Additionally, these designs do not provide the same levels of satisfaction and return to function as seen in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The prevalence of younger and more demanding patients also plays a role in the rationale for a kinematic knee, as they require a knee replacement that can better meet their needs and expectations.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Satisfaction levels and return to functional activity following TKA are the same as that of THA.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because satisfaction levels and return to functional activity following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) are generally lower compared to Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). TKA involves replacing the knee joint, which is a weight-bearing joint and can lead to more pain and longer recovery time compared to THA, which involves replacing the hip joint. Consequently, patients who undergo TKA may experience lower satisfaction levels and take longer to return to their normal level of activity compared to THA patients.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which TKA system was the first ‘guided-motion’ kinematically accurate knee design on the market?

    • Triathlon CR

    • Vanguard PS

    • JOURNEY BCS (JBCS)

    • ADVANCE Medial-Pivot Knee

    Correct Answer
    A. JOURNEY BCS (JBCS)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is JOURNEY BCS (JBCS). This knee design was the first 'guided-motion' kinematically accurate knee system on the market.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The JBCS Knee System restored normal knee function by…

    • Increasing anterior-posterior stability throughout knee flexion

    • Promoting a normal kinematic pattern

    • Placing the femur more posteriorly during full extension to reduce paradoxical motion

    • A & B

    Correct Answer
    A. A & B
    Explanation
    The JBCS Knee System is able to restore normal knee function by increasing anterior-posterior stability throughout knee flexion and promoting a normal kinematic pattern. These two factors work together to ensure that the knee joint functions properly and moves in a way that is natural and efficient. By improving stability and promoting a normal pattern of movement, the JBCS Knee System helps to alleviate pain and improve overall function of the knee joint. Therefore, the correct answer is A & B.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The normal screw home position of the JBCS allowed the knee to rest in its normal anatomical position and thus as in the normal knee, the quadriceps muscle was not required to maintain stability in extension.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The normal screw home position of the JBCS refers to the natural position of the knee joint where it rests in its anatomical position. In this position, the quadriceps muscle does not need to exert additional effort to maintain stability in extension. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOA NJRR) Annual Report identified the  JOURNEY BCS Knee as having a higher than expected revision rate. The Incidence of ITB pain is likely to have contributed to the Journey BCS revision rate in the AOA NJR.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The higher than expected revision rate of the JOURNEY BCS Knee identified in the AOA NJRR Annual Report is likely due to the incidence of ITB pain. This suggests that patients who underwent the JOURNEY BCS Knee procedure experienced ITB pain, which may have led to the need for revision surgeries. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The original JBCS post was “rounded ” at the top which made it more susceptible to varus/valgus dislocation.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The original JBCS post being "rounded" at the top means that it had a curved or rounded shape at the upper part. This curvature made it more prone to varus/valgus dislocation, which refers to the inward or outward displacement of a bone or joint. Therefore, the statement is true because the rounded shape of the post increased its vulnerability to varus/valgus dislocation.

  • 11. 

    Which features of the JBCS tibial insert design mimic the native articular surfaces to provide medial stability and increased posterior translation of the lateral condyle during flexion?

    • The JBCS tibial insert was designed to be symmetrical in shape to mimic the native tibial plateau

    • As with the native tibial plateau the tibial insert was designed with a concave medial and convex lateral shape

    • As with the native tibial plateau the tibial insert was designed with a concave lateral and convex medial shape

    • A & C

    Correct Answer
    A. As with the native tibial plateau the tibial insert was designed with a concave medial and convex lateral shape
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A & C. The JBCS tibial insert was designed to mimic the native articular surfaces by having a concave medial and convex lateral shape, which provides medial stability and increased posterior translation of the lateral condyle during flexion. This design feature helps to replicate the natural movement and stability of the knee joint, enhancing the overall performance and function of the implant.

    What was the high-level rationale behind evolving the original JOURNEY BCS (JBCS) System?

    • Complete the system

    • Improve functionality

    • Increase repeatability

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The high-level rationale behind evolving the original JOURNEY BCS (JBCS) System was to complete the system, improve functionality, and increase repeatability. This means that the original system may have been incomplete, lacked certain functionalities, or was not able to be repeated consistently. Therefore, the decision to evolve the system was made to address these issues and ensure that the system is fully functional, has improved features, and can be repeated reliably.

  • 14. 

    The final JBCS complication reported in the literature was that of stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia (MUA). Digennaro et al (2014) attribute the reported cases of stiffness and anterolateral joint pain to…

    • Excessive medial and lateral tibiofemoral posterior translation

    • Patella maltracking

    • Excessive medial and lateral tibiofemoral anterior translation

    • Chronic preoperative osteoarthritis

    Correct Answer
    A. Excessive medial and lateral tibiofemoral posterior translation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is excessive medial and lateral tibiofemoral posterior translation. This means that there is excessive movement of the tibia (shinbone) and femur (thighbone) in the backward direction. This can lead to stiffness and the need for manipulation under anesthesia. Digennaro et al (2014) suggest that this excessive posterior translation is the cause of reported cases of stiffness and anterolateral joint pain in JBCS complications.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What did Luyckx et al (2010) suggest contributed to the ITB traction syndrome?

    • Inadequate translation of the femur in flexion leading to increased eccentric loading of the ITB in some patients

    • The normal screw home position of the JBCS which allowed the knee to rest in its normal anatomical position

    • Excessive translation of the femur in flexion leading to increased eccentric loading of the ITB in some patients

    • A & B

    Correct Answer
    A. Excessive translation of the femur in flexion leading to increased eccentric loading of the ITB in some patients
    Explanation
    Luyckx et al (2010) suggested that excessive translation of the femur in flexion leads to increased eccentric loading of the ITB in some patients. This means that when the femur moves too much in relation to the tibia during flexion of the knee, it puts more stress on the ITB, which can contribute to the development of ITB traction syndrome. The inadequate translation of the femur in flexion and the normal screw home position of the JBCS are not mentioned as factors contributing to ITB traction syndrome in the given information. Therefore, the correct answer is excessive translation of the femur in flexion leading to increased eccentric loading of the ITB in some patients.

  • 16. 

    Of primary importance is the alignment of the JBCS tibial component relative to the femoral component as the two are coupled by the guided motion mechanism. According to Ries et al (2010) which of the following tibial component issues contribute to increased tension in the ITB?

    • Aseptic loosening of the tibial component

    • Excessive external rotation of the tibial component

    • Excessive posterior position of the tibial component

    • B & C

    Correct Answer
    A. B & C
    Explanation
    The correct answer is B & C. According to Ries et al (2010), excessive external rotation and excessive posterior position of the tibial component contribute to increased tension in the ITB. These issues affect the alignment of the tibial component relative to the femoral component, which are coupled by the guided motion mechanism. Aseptic loosening of the tibial component is not mentioned as a contributing factor to increased tension in the ITB.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    What paradoxical motion can occur as a result of conventional knee design?

    • The lack of ACL function leads to paradoxical anterior sliding of the femur during flexion

    • During flexion the knee may pivot laterally, as opposed to the naturally occurring medial pivot

    • During flexion the knee may pivot medially, as opposed to the naturally occurring lateral pivot

    • A & B

    Correct Answer
    A. A & B
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A & B. Conventional knee design can result in paradoxical motion in two ways. First, the lack of ACL function can lead to anterior sliding of the femur during flexion, which is contradictory to the normal movement. Second, during flexion, the knee may pivot laterally instead of the naturally occurring medial pivot. Both of these motions are paradoxical and can occur as a result of conventional knee design.

  • 19. 

    The stiffness associated with the original JBCS knee system was attributed to the excessive stresses placed on the soft tissues as a result of the limited rollback of the femoral component.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the stiffness of the original JBCS knee system was caused by the limited rollback of the femoral component, which placed excessive stresses on the soft tissues. However, the correct answer is false, meaning that this statement is not accurate. Therefore, the explanation for the correct answer is that the stiffness of the original JBCS knee system was not attributed to the limited rollback of the femoral component, contradicting the statement given.

    Arnout et al (2011) reported on four cases (0.3%) of posterior dislocation of the tibia relative to the femur in a series of 1,350 cases. The authors concluded that consistent soft-tissue stretch occurred in these patients. Which factors were noted as potentially contributing to dislocation?  

    • High flexion - during flexion the cam rises onto the post towards maximal flexion and in the case of a loose flexion space the cam could in theory become dislocated over the post

    • Low jump distance - due to the relative position of the cam, low height of the post combined with a rounded post design

    • Excessive femoral rollback - may contribute to consistent stretch on soft tissues leading to laxity, especially in flexion

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "All of the above." This means that all three factors mentioned - high flexion, low jump distance, and excessive femoral rollback - were noted as potentially contributing to the dislocation of the tibia relative to the femur.
