DEX IOT Day 5 2026 Exam – 75 Questions on Hand, Wrist & Trauma Fixation Techniques

This document contains approximately 75 structured exam questions and answers from the DEX IOT Day 5 2026 assessment, focusing on orthopedic surgical techniques, fixation systems, fracture classifications, and hand and wrist procedures. The material covers InternalBrace kits, SwiveLock and FiberTak applications, thumb UCL repair protocols, scapholunate reconstruction, CMC bailouts, carpal tunnel release techniques (open and endoscopic), and detailed drill sizes and graft specifications. In addition, the document includes comprehensive trauma-focused content such as Garden classification of femoral neck fractures (Types I–IV), intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric nail selection, ES nail protocols, troch nail measurements, Pilon fracture characteristics, ankle fracture plating strategies (valgus vs varus), external fixation pin placement, and bone graft healing principles including the healing triad (osteogenesis, osteoinduction, osteoconduction). It also reviews biologics such as ArthroCell, OsteoAuger, BoneSync, and QuickSet, alongside procedural pearls for intraoperative decision-making and complication avoidance. The content is highly practical and procedure-driven, making it ideal for surgical device representatives, orthopedic fellows, residents, operating room staff, and trauma specialists preparing for internal product certification or orthopedic trauma examinations. It is particularly relevant for professionals working with upper extremity reconstruction, ankle trauma systems, intramedullary nailing, and biologic augmentation technologies.
