Sample Questions

Question 1
A 22-year-old female collegiate soccer player sustains a non-contact pivot injury with an audible pop, immediate effusion within 2 hours, and a positive Lachman exam. MRI confirms a complete ACL tear with no meniscal or cartilage injury. As the primary care sports medicine physician, what is the most appropriate initial recommendation regarding surgical versus non-operative management?
Mandatory immediate ACL reconstruction within 2 weeks to prevent secondary injury
Shared decision-making — ACL reconstruction is typically recommended for a young, highly active pivoting-sport athlete wishing to return to cutting sports
Non-operative management with bracing and PT is equally effective in all patients regardless of activity level
Delay surgery for at least 12 months to allow ligamentous healing
Question 2
A 16-year-old female gymnast presents for pre-participation physical. She reports menarche at age 15, currently has 6 cycles per year, trains 25 hours/week, and restricts calories. BMI 17.8 kg/m². She has had two metatarsal stress fractures in 18 months. Which triad best describes her condition?
Overtraining syndrome, disordered eating, and iron deficiency
Low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density
Osteoporosis, amenorrhea, and hypothyroidism
Rhabdomyolysis, dehydration, and hyponatremia
Question 3
A 58-year-old recreational tennis player has chronic right shoulder pain for 6 months. MRI shows a partial-thickness articular-sided supraspinatus tear (~30%). Physical exam reveals full passive ROM, pain with Neer/Hawkins, Jobe's weakness, but no drop-arm sign. What is the most appropriate first-line treatment?
Immediate arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Structured physical therapy focused on scapular stabilization and posterior cuff strengthening ± subacromial corticosteroid injection
6-week immobilization in abduction pillow
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
Question 4
A 35-year-old runner has 6 months of midportion Achilles tendinopathy unresponsive to RICE and NSAIDs. Which evidence-based treatment has the strongest support as first-line rehabilitation?
Corticosteroid injection into the Achilles tendon
Alfredson eccentric heel-drop protocol (3 sets of 15 reps, twice daily, for 12 weeks)
Surgical tenotomy and debridement
Extended immobilization in a walking boot for 8 weeks
Question 5
A 60-year-old patient with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 knee osteoarthritis presents for office-based treatment. Regarding intra-articular corticosteroid injections for knee OA, which of the following is most accurate?
No limit exists on the frequency of injections — monthly injections are encouraged
Injections provide short-term pain relief (typically 4-8 weeks); total exposure is generally limited to ≤3-4 per year due to cartilage toxicity concerns
Corticosteroid injections are curative for knee OA and delay need for arthroplasty
There is strong evidence that hyaluronic acid outperforms corticosteroid at 12 months
