EXAM) WITH QUESTIONS WITH VERY
ELABORATED ANSWERS CORRECTRY WELL
ORGANIZED LATEST 2024 – 2025 ALREADY
GRADED A+
ovarian torsion that includes an acute onset of pelvic pain, nausea (and possible
vomiting), as well as an adnexal mass. - ANSWERS-
thoracic outlet syndrome, which include edema of the affected upper extremity,
pain, and atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand. Thoracic outlet syndrome
is most commonly caused either by a cervical rib or a Pancoast tumor; -
ANSWERS-Lower Trunk palsy. --> Loss of instrinsic muchels of the and. [Ulnar +
Median]
A hydrocele is a collection of peritoneal fluid between the parietal and visceral
layers of the tunica vaginalis - ANSWERS-
,After it pierces the supinator... - ANSWERS-Deep radial n. becomes posterior
interosseus n.
A *supracondylar fracture* of the humerus and/or a *compression in the carpal
tunnel* injures the ... - ANSWERS-the median nerve
A *supracondylar fracture* of the humerus - ANSWERS-*Fracture at the distal
end.
*Common in kids when they fall with hand outstretched.
Damaged median nerve ... - ANSWERS-loss of pronation, opposition of the thumb,
and flexion of the lateral two IP joints and impairment of the medial two IP joints
Radial Nerve splits into ____________ & _____________ - ANSWERS-Deep radial
(motor) and superficial (sensory) at the the level of the radial bone head
A fracture of the midshaft of the humerus leads to - ANSWERS-*Radial Nerve
Injury
*Loss of extensors in the forearm, hand, metacarpals, and phalanges --> *Wrist
drop*
Radial nerve innervates - ANSWERS-brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis
longus before it splits
,Deep radial nerve innervates - ANSWERS-supinator and the extensor carpi radialis
brevis
testicular torsion - ANSWERS-In the absence of trauma, lack of cremasteric reflex
along with 10/10 groin pain in an adolescent male. An emergency
The nerve(s) of Cremaster reflex - ANSWERS-Genitofemoral nerve (L1-L2)
*The "femoral" portion of this nerve supplies skin sensation to the upper anterior
thigh.
*"Genito" portion of the nerve travels with the spermatic cord to innervate the
cremaster muscle and the anterior scrotal skin.
ilioinguinal nerve (L1) - ANSWERS-* travels adjacent to the spermatic cord (is NOT
within the cord)
Males: Inn. skin sensation over the root of the penis and the upper part of the
scrotum.
In females, it is responsible for sensation of the mons pubis and labia majora.
, Path of Common Fibular (Peroneal) Nerve the common peroneal nerve -
ANSWERS-exits the popliteal fossa, it branches into the superficial and deep
divisions
Superfical innervates the lateral compartment (Eversion)
- ANSWERS-Indirect inguinal hernias emerge through the internal inguinal ring,
which is a site of evagination of the transversalis fascia. From there, the hernia is
transmitted through the inguinal canal into the scrotum (in males) or the labium
majus (in females)
ECA occulsion - ANSWERS-*Rare but can occur in patients with comorbid health
conditions
*Neurological exam still normal.
occlusion of the ECA leads to ischemia of the lingual artery, resulting in tongue
pain. Ischemia of the facial artery manifests as facial pain, while ischemia of the
posterior auricular artery results in cyanosis of the ear.
The great saphenous vein - ANSWERS-originates on the medial side of the dorsal
venous arch of the foot. It travels the length of the entire leg and thigh. It empties
into the femoral vein just inferior to the medial border of the inguinal ligament
Vascetomy - ANSWERS-The ductus deferens is cut and ligated to prevent sperm
from entering the seminal fluid.
