Sample Questions

Question 1
A 28-year-old falls on an outstretched hand and has anatomic snuffbox tenderness. Radiographs appear normal. What is the BEST next step?
Discharge with activity as tolerated
Thumb spica splint/cast and repeat imaging (X-ray in 10-14 days OR MRI/CT for earlier diagnosis) to rule out occult scaphoid fracture
NSAIDs only with immediate return to activity
Ulnar nerve release
Question 2
A 25-year-old has a displaced proximal pole scaphoid fracture. What is the MOST concerning complication given the blood supply of the scaphoid?
High rate of healing with casting alone
High risk of nonunion (~30%) and AVN due to retrograde blood supply from the dorsal carpal branch of the radial artery entering at the distal/waist region
Median nerve palsy
Thumb opposition weakness
Question 3
A 55-year-old has a comminuted intra-articular distal radius fracture with dorsal angulation of 25° and radial shortening of 5 mm. What is the BEST surgical management?
Short-arm cast only
Volar locking plate fixation — gold-standard for unstable intra-articular distal radius fractures; restores radial length, radial inclination, volar tilt, and articular congruity
External fixator only
Observation
Question 4
Which parameter is MOST critical to restore in surgical treatment of a distal radius fracture?
Only radial length
All three: radial length (~12 mm), radial inclination (~22°), and volar tilt (~11°) — plus intra-articular congruity (<2 mm step-off); restoration of these optimizes wrist function
Only volar tilt
Only radial inclination
Question 5
Lichtman staging of Kienböck disease: a patient with lunate collapse AND fixed scaphoid rotation (DISI with scaphoid ring sign) is classified as:
Stage I
Stage IIIB — collapsed lunate + fixed scaphoid rotation; treatment options include STT fusion, scaphocapitate fusion, or proximal row carpectomy
Stage II
Stage IV
