When a skier falls forward the tibia is moving forward. What muscle group is contracting to neutralize the forces of the tibia moving
forward to prevent fracture?

2/5
True or False: Tibial fractures more proximally because of the location of the neutral axis.
False
What defect is less than the diameter of the bone?
Stress raiser
A bone biopsy is an example of _______ section defect?
open defect
What type of joint has a synovial cavity and is freely moveable?
Shoulder
True or False: Articular cartilage has blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves.
False
True or False: Most important property of collagen in articular cartilage is its compressive strength but it cannot resist tensile loads.
False; switch tensile and compressive
True or False: When a viscoelastic solid is subjected to constant load the solid responds with rapid initial deformation followed by a
slow progressively increasing deformation until an equilibrium state is reached. This is called creep?
True
True or False: When a viscoelastic solid is subjected to a constant deformation the solid responds with a high initial stress and then a
slow progressively decreasing stress to maintain the deformation. This is called stress relaxation?
True
True or False: Fluid film lubrication creates separation between two bones in a joint?
True
What type of wear has the bearing surfaces come into direct contact without lubricant film?
Interfacial
What treatment involves a disruption of subchondral bone in an attempt to induce bleeding (fibrin clot formation) and to initiate
primitive stem cell migration from the bone marrow into the cartilage defect site?
Microfracture surgery
The advanced FDA-approved technology allows cartilage cells, known as chondrocytes, to be harvested from your knee and cultured
and multiplied. The fresh chondrocytes are then re-implanted in your knee and cause hyaline-like cartilage to repair the defect in
articulating surfaces.
ACI
The only surgical technique that can restore the height and shape of articulating surface in focal osteochondral defects, with
composite autologous material that contains all the necessary ingredients: hyaline articular cartilage, intact tidemark and a firm bone
carrier.
OATS
True or False: Ligaments have fibers that are parallel and orderly allowing for it to handle uniaxial loads.
False
True or False: The main problem with healing in a torn supraspinatus tendon is lack of blood supply.
True
Clinical application to treat a frozen shoulder basis its principles on what?
creep
A knee joint with an intact ACL will have what property?
Fluid film lubrication

3/5
What is the predominant restraint to anterior tibial displacement?
ACL
True or False: The PCL is taut in full knee extension, and tends to internally rotate tibia.
False
What type of exercise is preferred for someone with an ACL reconstruction?
mini squat
Which shoulder ligaments resist inferior glenohumeral translation?
coracohumeral ligament and middle glenohumeral ligament
The MCL in the elbow prevents what type of stresses?
valgus stresses
True or false: nerves are hypovascular
False
Leaning on crutches for too long can damage what nerve?
Radial
What nerves fibers undergo a greater form of deformation?
Thicker diameter nerve fibers; large carry motor responses, thinner carry pain signals
What is characterized by axonal enlargement into an amorphous mass, breakdown of the axons, and Schwann cell ingestion of
fragmented myelin to provide clean endoneural tubes for advancement of regenerating axons? Wallerian degeneration
What type of nerve injury has a complete disruption of axons, endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium?
Neurotmesis
What type of shoulder positioning is seen with ERB's Palsy? internal rotation and adduction
What nerve is most commonly compressed with carpal tunnel syndrome?
median
True or False: moment vectors are the rotational and twisting action of applied forces, an example is when someone opens a door
that is on a hinge.
False
True or False: Plasticity is the ability of a material to resume its original size, shape on removal of applied loads.
False, elasticity
True or False: the strain at which the fatigue levels off preventing possible fracture is the endurance limit.
False; stress
True or False: The shorter the bone the greater the magnitude of the bending moment?
False
True or False: Articular cartilage is the most dense of any tissue?
False
True or False: Bankart and SLAP lesions deal with tears of the labrum in the hip?
Flase
True or False: Tendons are mostly parallel but have fibers in other directions so it can handle multi directional loads?

False; ligaments
True or False: Ligaments receive their blood supply from vessels in the perimysium, the periosteal insertion and surrounding tissue.

Within the load-elongation curve, what is the name of the region in which the tissue elongates and changes shape easily without
much resistance the collagen fibers become straight?
toe region
