61. Answer A. Dental procedures
Acute haematogenous infection after total knee arthroplasty is a significant and persistent prob­lem in many patients. The rate of bacteraemia after invasi ve procedures is highest with dental procedures.
Urogenital procedures and gastrointestinal procedures are also related with haematogenous infection with gastrointestinal procedures having the lowest association.
Invasive procedures known to cause bacter­aemia are to be avoided for 3–6 months after total knee arthroplasty.

62. Answer E. Steinmann second
Joint line tenderness that moves posteriorly with knee flexion and anteriorly with knee extension is the basis of the Steinmann second test. A meniscal tear which is mobile with knee range of movement gives rise to a positive test.
External tibial rotation and knee extension increases tenderness along the medial joint line in the presence of a medial meniscus tear in a Bragards test. While performing this test the medial meniscus comes more anterior and closer to the examining finger and therefore causes pain whereas internal rotation and flexion movem ent cause less tenderness by moving the meniscus farther from the area of palpation.
A palpable click on the joint line is elicited by the McMurrays test. External tibial rotation and passive motion from flexion to extension causes pain medially in a case of medial meniscus tear whereas with the tibia in internal rotation and passive motion from flexion to extension elicits pain laterally in a case of lateral meniscal tear.
In the Apley grind test the tibiofemoral sur­faces are forced together to elicit pain. If the patient has pain then it is an indication of a positive test.
Duck walking increases pressure on the pos­terior aspect of the knee. A positive test is indica­tive of a tear in the posterior horn of the meniscus.

63. Answer B. FOPE (focal periphyseal oedema)
Salter-Harris Type 1 fractures are often associ­ated with a history of trauma. Radiologically a physeal widening is visible. In cases with subtle widening a comparison with the contralateral knee is often helpful.
Brodies abscess and osteoid osteoma are often associated with history of a previous infec­tion, night pain relieved with aspirin etc. This is not the case in this young man. Also, his blood investigations are reported to be normal.
Focal periphyseal oedema (FOPE) is a mani­festation of normal skeletal maturation. They are generally central in location because the physis are in a process of closing. This differentiates FOPE lesion from Salter-Harris Type 1 injuries.

64. Answer E.
(MARS) group stated that approximately 30% of patients undergoing revision ACL recon­struction had no impingement
Anterior cruciate ligament graft impingement primarily occurs due to improper tibial tunnel placement. This may lead to loss of normal knee extension and can cause tearing of the graft. In an abnormally anteriorly placed tibial tunnel the distal two-thirds of the graft shows a high signal on MRI. An osteophyte in the intercondylar notch can result in graft impingement. If the anterior wall of the tibial tunnel is placed anter­ior to the Blumensaat line, a roof impingement may occur due to the graft impacting the roof of the intercondylar notch. A hyperextension lateral radiograph is associated with increased effusion,

lack of complete extension in cases of anterior ACL graft impingement.
The MARS study group stated that approxi­mately 51% of patients undergoing revision reconstruction had no impingement, 47% had some impingement, while 2% had complete impingement.

65. Answer: C. The knee is not able to flex or extend in a locking episode because of patellar pathology whereas in a bucket handle tear of meniscus the knee can be further flexed.
Patients with patellofemoral (PF) disorders pri­marily present with one or all the following symptoms: pain, instability and locking or catching.
The pain is located anteriorly and is not well defined. Anterior knee pain and moder ate pain with climbing stairs have been shown to have a high specificity with isolated PF injury.
Instability episodes can be subjective or objective. Initial episodes are generally traumatic leading to dislocation of the patient. Subsequent episodes are subjective with reflex contraction of the quadriceps resulting in a subluxation.
Locking is the third common symptom and can be differentiated from a meniscal tear by physical examination. The knee is a fixed pos­ition, and no further flexion or extension is pos­sible. In a bucket handle tear of meniscus, the knee can be further flexed but has restricted terminal extension.
Locking episodes are generally momentary but sudden quadriceps contraction can cause painful and prolonged locking episodes.

anterior knee pain and activity-related pain in iden­tifying knees with structural damage in the patello­femoral joint: the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study. JRheumatol.2014;41:16951702.
66. Answer: C. COL5A1
Spontaneous rupture of the quadriceps com­monly occurs because of the sudden eccentric contraction of the muscle. This sudden contrac­tion exceeds the phase of plastic deformation and can lead to incomplete or complete rupture.
In patients more than 40 years of age the site of rupture is at the muscle tendon interface whereas in younger patients it is a mid-substance tear.
Bilateral quadriceps ruptures are reported in patients with underlying systemic illness, obesity and use of anabolic steroids. The COL5A1 gene is implicated in bilateral quadriceps injury.
GDF5 (encoding growth & differentiation factor 5) is associated with osteoarthritis.
HOXB9 and COL1A1 both are associated with dynamic dysplasia of hip (DDH).
COL1A2 is associated with osteogenesis imperfecta.

67. Answer A. A decrease in the moment arm of the extensor mechanism is caused by the patella by anterior displacement from the knee rotation
The patella and the tendinous portion of the extensor mechanism share the load from full knee flexion to 45°.
At less than 45° the patella is the only com­ponent of the extensor mechanism which is in contact with the distal femur.
An increase in the moment arm of the exten­sor mechanism is caused by the anterior dis­placement of the patella from the knees centre of rotation.
Twice the amount of torque is required for the terminal 15° of knee extension as compared with the torque required from full flexion of the knee to 15° short of extension.

68. Answer C. Dorsal defect of patella
A dorsal defect of patella is an anatomical variant. It is most often an incidental finding when
patients are imaged for other causes. Exactly why
a dorsal defect of patella develops is unknown.
Failed or delayed ossification of the patella leading
to a developmental alteration of the epiphysis is
thought to be a causative factor. Histologically a
non-specific fibrous tissue with no features of
inflammation is identified. This is a self-limiting
condition and treatment is non-operative.
