  1. A 'Segond fracture' seen as a small bony fragment on the lateral aspect of the proximal tibia is pathognomonic for which injury?

    Answer: ACL tear with lateral capsular avulsion

    The Segond fracture is an avulsion of the lateral tibial capsule that is highly specific for ACL rupture and is seen at the lateral margin of the proximal tibia.

  2. Which radiographic view provides optimal visualization of the acromioclavicular joint by eliminating spinal overlap?

    Answer: Zanca view (15° cephalad tilt)

    The Zanca view uses a 15° cephalad tube tilt and reduced penetration to isolate the AC joint without overlap from the scapular spine.

  3. Which fracture pattern constitutes a true 'Jones fracture' of the fifth metatarsal?

    Answer: Transverse fracture at the fifth metatarsal metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction

    A Jones fracture is a transverse fracture at the proximal metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of the fifth metatarsal, prone to non-union due to poor blood supply.

  4. A Bankart lesion is best characterized on shoulder MRI as which finding?

    Answer: Detachment of the anterior inferior glenoid labrum

    A Bankart lesion is a detachment of the anterior inferior glenoid labrum from the glenoid rim, typically resulting from anterior shoulder dislocation.

  5. When initial X-rays are negative for a suspected scaphoid fracture, what is the recommended next imaging step?

    Answer: MRI

    MRI is the preferred follow-up for suspected occult scaphoid fractures, detecting bone marrow edema within 24 hours and assessing avascular necrosis risk.

  6. The 'carrying angle' measured on an AP elbow radiograph in full extension represents which anatomical relationship?

    Answer: Valgus angulation between the long axes of the humerus and ulna

    The carrying angle is the valgus angle formed between the humeral and ulnar long axes in full extension, normally 5–15° in adults and greater in females.
