    Incorrect

    • Due to a traffic accident, a male patient was unable to lift his arm, indicating an injury at the glenohumeral joint. Based on the patient’s current condition, which nerve or nerves are may likely damaged?

      Your Answer: Axillary and thoracodorsal nerve

      Correct Answer: Axillary and suprascapular nerve

      Explanation:

      A suprascapular nerve injury causes numbness in the shoulder, as well as weakness in abduction and external rotation.

      Damage to the axillary nerve can result in shoulder or arm muscle weakness, as well as difficulty lifting the arm. This is because the deltoid and supraspinatus muscles, which are innervated by the axillary and suprascapular nerves, are responsible for abduction of the arm at the shoulder joint.

    Correct

    • A 42-year-old man presented to the emergency room after an incident of slipping and falling onto his back and left hip. Upon physical examination, it was noted that he has pain on hip adduction, but normal hip flexion.

      Which of the following muscles was most likely injured in this case?

      Your Answer: Pectineus

      Explanation:

      The hip adductors are a group of five muscles located in the medial compartment of the thigh. These muscles are the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus.

      The hip flexors consist of 5 key muscles that contribute to hip flexion: iliacus, psoas, pectineus, rectus femoris, and sartorius.

    Correct

    • A patient diagnosed with cranial nerve palsy exhibits asymmetrical movement of the palate, nasal regurgitation of food, and nasal quality to the voice.

      Which of the following cranial nerves is most likely responsible for the aforementioned features?

      Your Answer: Vagus nerve

      Explanation:

      The vagus nerve, ‘the wanderer’, contains motor fibres (to the palate and vocal cords), sensory components (posterior and floor of external acoustic meatus) and visceral afferent and efferent fibres.

      Palatal weakness can cause nasal speech and nasal regurgitation of food. The palate moves asymmetrically when the patient says ‘ahh’. Recurrent nerve palsy results in hoarseness, loss of volume and ‘bovine cough’.

    Correct

    • During bedside rounds, an 82-year old female in the Medicine Ward complains of pain and tingling of all fingers of the right hand. The attending physician is considering carpal tunnel syndrome.

      Which of the following is expected to undergo atrophy in carpal tunnel syndrome?

      Your Answer: The thenar eminence

      Explanation:

      Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an entrapment neuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist’s carpal tunnel. It is the most common nerve entrapment neuropathy, accounting for 90% of all neuropathies. Early symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include pain, numbness, and paraesthesia’s. These symptoms typically present, with some variability, in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the radial half (thumb side) of the ring finger. Pain also can radiate up the affected arm. With further progression, hand weakness, decreased fine motor coordination, clumsiness, and thenar atrophy can occur.

      The muscles innervated by the median nerve can be remembered using the mnemonic ‘LOAF’:
      L– lateral two lumbricals
      O– Opponens pollicis
      A– Abductor pollicis
      F– Flexor pollicis brevis

      In the early presentation of the disease, symptoms most often present at night when lying down and are relieved during the day. With further progression of the disease, symptoms will also be present during the day, especially with certain repetitive activities, such as when drawing, typing, or playing video games. In more advanced disease, symptoms can be constant.

      Typical occupations of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome include those who use computers for extended periods of time, those who use equipment that has vibration such as construction workers, and any other occupation requiring frequent, repetitive movement.

    Correct

    • If a patient dislocated his right shoulder and has been referred to the orthopaedic outpatient department for a follow-up after a successful reduction, which of the following is the most important position for him to avoid holding his arm in until he is seen in the clinic?

      Your Answer: Arm at 90 degrees to side with palm up

      Explanation:

      The arm should be placed in a poly-sling that should be worn for about two weeks. A physiotherapist may give gentle movements for the arm to help in reducing stiffness and in relieving the pain. It is important that the patient must avoid positions that could cause re-dislocation.
      The most important position to avoid is the arm being held out at 90 degrees to the side with the palm facing upwards, especially if a force is being applied.

    Correct

    • A paediatric patient comes to the emergency room with complaints of right lower quadrant pain. The attending physician is considering appendicitis. Inside the operating room, the surgeon asks the medical student to locate the McBurney's point prior to the first incision.

      Which of the following is the surface anatomy of the McBurney's point?

      Your Answer: One-third of the distance from the anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus

      Explanation:

      Inflammation of the appendix is a significant public health problem with a lifetime incidence of 8.6% in men and 6.7% in women, with the highest incidence occurring in the second and third decade of life. While the rate of appendectomy in developed countries has decreased over the last several decades, it remains one of the most frequent emergent abdominal operations. Appendicitis can often result in anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and fever.

      McBurney’s point, which is found one-third of the distance between the anterior superior iliac spine and the umbilicus, is often the point of maximal tenderness in a patient with an anatomically normal appendix. A McBurney’s incision is chiefly used for cecostomy and appendectomy. It gives a limited exposure only, and should any doubt arise about the diagnosis, an infraumbilical right paramedian incision should be used instead.

      Explanation:

      Adverse actions include anticholinergic effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision, extrapyramidal effects, and postural hypotension. Phenothiazines can all induce acute dystonic reactions such as facial and skeletal muscle spasms and oculogyric crises; children (especially girls, young women, and those under 10 kg) are particularly susceptible.

    • Which of the following is NOT a contraindication to treatment with aspirin at analgesic doses:

      Your Answer: Severe cardiac failure

      Correct Answer: Myasthenia gravis

      Explanation:

      Aspirin (at analgesic doses) is contraindicated in:
      People with a history of true hypersensitivity to aspirin or salicylates (symptoms of hypersensitivity to aspirin or salicylates include bronchospasm, urticaria, angioedema, and vasomotor rhinitis)
      People with active or previous peptic ulceration
      People with haemophilia or another bleeding disorder
      Children younger than 16 years of age (risk of Reye’s syndrome)
      People with severe cardiac failure
      People with severe hepatic impairment
      People with severe renal impairment

      N.B. Owing to an association with Reye’s syndrome, aspirin-containing preparations should not be given to children under 16 years, unless specifically indicated, e.g. for Kawasaki disease.

    Correct

    • A 29 year old man presents to ED followed an alleged assault whilst out drinking. He received blunt trauma to his right axilla. He is complaining of difficulty abducting his right arm above the level of his shoulder, and on inspection, the inferior angle of his right scapula protrudes more than that of his left scapula. Which of the following nerves has most likely been affected:

      Your Answer: Long thoracic nerve

      Explanation:

      Damage to the long thoracic nerve results in weakness/paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle causing difficulty abducting the upper limb above 90 degrees and giving a ‘winged ‘ scapula appearance where the medial border, particularly the inferior angle, of the scapula moves laterally and posteriorly away from the thoracic wall (this becomes more pronounced if the patient presses the upper limb against a wall).

    Correct

    • A 35-year-old man suffers an open fracture of his forearm. The nerve that innervates the pronator quadratus muscle is damaged as a consequence of this injury.
      Which of the following nerves has been damaged in this case? Select ONE answer only.

      Your Answer: The anterior interosseous nerve

      Explanation:

      Pronator quadratus is a small, square-shaped muscle that lies in the anterior compartment of the forearm. It arises from the distal fourth of the anterior surface of the ulna and inserts into the distal fourth of the anterior surface of the radius.
      Pronator quadratus is innervated by the anterior interosseous nerve. It receives its blood supply from the anterior interosseous artery, which is a branch of the common interosseous artery, which in turn is a branch of the ulnar artery.
      The main action of pronator quadratus is to assist pronator teres with pronation of the forearm. The deep fibres bind the radius and ulna together.

    Correct

    • A 22 year old professional athlete sustains an inversion injury to her left ankle during the 800m. Which of the following ligaments is most likely injured:

      Your Answer: Anterior talofibular ligament

      Explanation:

      Inversion injuries at the ankle in plantarflexion (such as when wearing high heels) are common, and typically result in damage to the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle, made up of the anterior talofibular, the calcaneofibular and the posterior talofibular ligaments. The anterior talofibular and the calcaneofibular ligaments are most commonly injured, and the posterior talofibular ligament rarely. The spring ligament supports the head of the talus, the deltoid ligament supports the medial aspect of the ankle joint, and the long and short plantar ligaments are involved in maintaining the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot.

    Incorrect

    • The following statements are not true of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle, except?

      Your Answer: It assists with adduction of the wrist joint

      Correct Answer: It receives its blood supply from the radial artery

      Explanation:

      Extensor carpi radialis brevis is a fusiform muscle found in the lateral part of the posterior forearm. Together with anconaeus, brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi and extensor carpi ulnaris, it belongs to the superficial forearm extensor group. Extensor carpi radialis brevis originates from the lateral epicondyle of humerus via the common extensor tendon. This is a common origin that it shares with the extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi and extensor carpi ulnaris muscles. Some fibres also originate from the lateral intermuscular septum, a thick aponeurosis that covers the muscle itself, and from the radial collateral ligament.

      The muscle courses inferiorly, giving off a long tendon in the middle of the forearm which descends towards the dorsal hand. The tendon passes through a groove on the posterior surface of radius, deep to the extensor retinaculum. After traversing the extensor retinaculum space, the tendon inserts into the posterior aspect of the base of the third metacarpal bone.

      Extensor carpi radialis brevis is innervated directly by the radial nerve (C5- C8), or sometimes from its deep branch/posterior interosseous nerve. The radial nerve stems from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.

      The muscle is vascularized by the radial recurrent artery, radial artery and deep brachial artery (via its radial collateral branch).

      Extensor carpi radialis brevis works together with extensor carpi ulnaris and extensor carpi radialis longus to extend the hand at the wrist joint. This action is vital in a sequence of muscle contractions needed for clenching a fist or making a grip. When performing these functions, wrist extension blocks the flexor muscles from on acting upon the hand. Instead, flexors act only on the digits, thereby flexing them and producing an effective hand grip, such as that seen in a tennis backhand. When the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle contracts together with extensor carpi radialis longus and flexor carpi radialis, it contributes to producing hand abduction (radial deviation).

      Your Answer: Sartorius

      Explanation:

      The hip adductors are a group of five muscles located in the medial compartment of the thigh. These muscles are the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus.

      The hip flexors consist of 5 key muscles that contribute to hip flexion: iliacus, psoas, pectineus, rectus femoris, and sartorius.

      Your Answer: Opposition of thumb

      Explanation:

      The symptoms of median nerve injury include tingling or numbness in the forearm, thumb, and three adjacent fingers, as well as gripping weakness and the inability to move the thumb across the palm.

      Because the thenar muscles and the flexor pollicis longus are paralyzed, flexion, abduction, and opposition of the thumb at the MCPJ and IPJ are gone.

    Correct

    • You are about to perform an emergency pericardiocentesis on a 26-year-old male who was involved in a car accident and is suspected of having cardiac tamponade due to signs of hypotension, muffled heart sounds, and distended neck veins. Where should you insert the needle to relieve tamponade?

      Your Answer: Inferior and to the left of the xiphochondral junction

      Explanation:

      Pericardiocentesis is a procedure that removes excess fluid from the pericardium. As a result, it’s used in cases of cardiac tamponade, which occurs when there’s too much fluid in the space around the heart.

      During the procedure, a needle and a small catheter are inserted 1 to 2 cm inferior and to the left of the xiphochondral junction into the pericardial cavity.

    • A 70-year-old man presents with right-sided hemiplegia and loss of joint position sense, vibratory sense, and discriminatory touch. Upon further physical examination, it was observed that her tongue deviates to the left-hand side. An MRI and CT scan was ordered and results showed that he was suffering a left-sided stroke.

      Which of the following is considered the best diagnosis for the case presented above?

      Your Answer: Lateral medullary syndrome

      Correct Answer: Medial medullary syndrome

      Explanation:

      Medial medullary syndrome is a form of stroke that affects the medial medulla of the brain. It is caused by a lesion in the medial part of the medulla, which is due to an infraction of vertebral arteries and/or paramedian branches of the anterior spinal artery.

      It is characterized by contralateral paralysis of the upper and lower limb of the body, a contralateral decrease in proprioception, vibration, and/or fine touch sensation, paresthesias or less commonly dysesthesias in the contralateral trunk and lower limb, and loss of position and vibration sense with proprioceptive dysfunction. Ipsilateral deviation of the tongue due to ipsilateral hypoglossal nerve damage can also be seen.

    • A patient has suffered a nerve injury that has caused weakness of the pectoralis minor muscle.
      Pectoralis minor receives its innervation from which of the following nerves? Select ONE answer only.

      Your Answer: Medial pectoral nerve

      Explanation:

      Pectoralis minor is a thin, triangular muscle that is situated in the upper chest. It is thinner and smaller than pectoralis major. It is innervated by the medial pectoral nerve.
      The origin of pectoralis minor is the 3rdto the 5thribs, near the costal cartilages. It inserts into the medial border and superior surface of the coracoid process of the scapula.
      The main action of pectoralis minor is to draw the scapula inferiorly and anteriorly against the thoracic wall. This serves to stabilise the scapula.
