1Which region of the spine is crucial for bending/torsion of the trunk?
- ACervical
- BThoracic
- CLumbar
- DSacral
2The secondary curvatures of the spine are referred to as kyphosis.
- ATrue
- BFalse
3The vertebral arch is attached to the vertebral body on either side by a [blank_start]pedicle[blank_end].
- Aspinous process
- Blaminae
- Cpedicle
- Dsuperior articular facet
4The thoracic typically has a vertebral body that is
- AShort and bifid
- BLong and slopes postero-inferiorly
- CShort and broad
5Intervertebral discs are [blank_start]fibrocartilage[blank_end] joints. These structures are [blank_start]avascular[blank_end] which means they receive blood with nutrients via branches of [blank_start]segmental[blank_end] arteries through the endplates. These structures are [blank_start]selectively permeable[blank_end] in order for the nutrients to pass into the intervertebral disc.
- Afibrocartilage
- Bavascular
- Csegmental
- Dselectively permeable
6The inner gelatinous core of the intervertebral disc is known as the annulus fibrosus
- ATrue
- BFalse
7The [blank_start]posterior[blank_end] longitudinal ligament is comprised of broad, strong, and fibrous bands which help to prevent hyperextension.
- Aposterior
- Banterior
8Spinal tuberculosis is caused by the spread of [blank_start]Mycobacterium tuberculosis[blank_end]. The spread of spinal tuberculosis is typically regarded as hematogenous. The spread through the arterial route increases infection in the [blank_start]paradiscal[blank_end] regions. Batson's venous system is a [blank_start]valveless[blank_end] system that contributes to infection in [blank_start]both[blank_end] directions.
- AMycobacterium tuberculosis
- Bparadiscal
- Cvalveless
- Dboth
9In which lesion is the vertebral body preserved in spinal tuberculosis
- AAnterior
- BParadiscal
- CPosterior
- DCentral
10Paradiscal lesions involve adjacent margins of [blank_start]two[blank_end] consecutive vertebrae. These lesions have a high risk of [blank_start]anterior wedging[blank_end] and [blank_start]kyphosis[blank_end].
- Atwo
- Banterior wedging
- Ckyphosis
11Here you can see three examples of spines that have been affected differently by spinal tuberculosis. In which example is there no sign of deformity and the anterior column is most affected?
- A1
- B2
- C3
12Type C re-stabilisation can lead to a particular pattern of destruction known as buckling.
- ATrue
- BFalse
13A gibbus is formed when [blank_start]1[blank_end] vertebral segment(s) are involved.
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
14The anterior edge of a superior vertebral body may come into contact with the anterior edge of an inferior vertebral body causing kyphosis. Which type of re-stabilisation is this seen in?
- AType A
- BType B
- CType C
15Which spinal region is the most vulnerable to vertebral collapse in the active stage of spinal tuberculosis?
- AThoracic
- BThoracolumbar
- CLumbar
16The most common clinical symptom of spinal tuberculosis is [blank_start]back pain[blank_end]. [blank_start]MRI[blank_end] is the most favored imaging technique to distinguish potential spinal tuberculosis.
- AMRI
- Bback pain
17Which surgical approach is only typically used for mild kyphosis and is not suited to multiple level vertebral involvements?
- AAnterior
- BPosterior
18The posterior surgical approach may have superior results than the anterior approach due to its screws crossing the [blank_start]pedicle[blank_end] of the vertebral arch; allowing for a high [blank_start]strengthening[blank_end] and stability of the three columns.
- Apedicle
- Bstrengthening
