ABFAS 22 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GUARANTEED A+
Tzank (Tzanck) - ✔✔Blister fluid, derm test for herpes, chicken pox.
Kveim - ✔✔Test for sarcoidosis. Injection of spleen tissue from (+) pt.
Biopsied after 4 weeks.
Mau - ✔✔Midshaft 1st metatarsal osteotomy. Dorsal-distal to prox-plantar.
Opposite of Ludloff.
Carroll - ✔✔Incision for clubfoot. Medial + posterior lateral
Cincinnati - ✔✔Incision for clubfoot. T.v. from post medial to lateral.
Turco - ✔✔Incision for clubfoot. Posterior medial. Current MC.
Von Williebrand - ✔✔Autosomonal Dominant hereditary bleeding disorder.
Missing VW factor.
Ischerwood - ✔✔Lateral oblique view of STJ. demonstration of talar
articular surface of calcaneu
,Harris-Beath - ✔✔Most useful to r/o TC Coalitions. Patient standing on x-
ray plate with knees in slight flexion. Central ray angles varies from 35 to
45 aimed posteriorly from prominence of posterior calcaneus
Hawkins sign - ✔✔Sign of subchondral radiolucent band in talar dome on
AP view. Indicates viability at 6-8 weeks s/p fx.
Hoke - ✔✔Percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening by triple hemisection
Murphy - ✔✔∙Advancing the insertion of the Achilles anteriorly on the
calcaneus.
∙Indicated in SPASTIC EQUINUS, esp. Cerb. Palsy in peds.
→Muscles lose some mechanical advantage .
→Decrease the equinus.
∙*Transfer Achilles insertion to dorsum of calcaneus just posterior to
posterior facet of STJ.*
→Weakens the triceps surae at the ankle joint by 50%
→Weakens toe-off ability by only 15%.
∙Modification of this procedure is to reroute the Achilles tendon deep
(anterior) to toe FHL tendon.
, Sanders - ✔✔The Sanders classification is a system of categorizing intra-
articular calcaneal fractures based on the number of articular fragments
seen on the coronal CT image at the widest point of the posterior facet
Ewing - ✔✔Ewing Sarcoma. (#33) Malignant, small cell bone tumor.
Onionskin and lytic changes on x-ray. Tx: Chemo or amp.
Paget - ✔✔Paget's disease of bone. Benign. Rare in feet. Well defined,
sharp border. Thickening may deform bones. A/W high levels of *serum
alkaline phosphatase*
Codman - ✔✔Codman's Triangle - triangular area of new subperiosteal
bone that is created when a lesion, often a tumour, raises the periosteum
away from the bone. A/w: sarcomas, Unicameral bone cysts and Giant cell
tumors.
Brodie - ✔✔Brodie's Abscess
- Form of SUBACUTE OM (>2weeks, lasts months)
Triangular area of new subperiosteal bone (>1cm) that is created when a
lesion, often a tumour, raises the periosteum away from the bone.
- Localized pain, often nocturnal,
*ALLEVIATED BY ASPIRIN*.
