U r a professor of orthopedic surgery aiming to design mcqs for master degree students. Please, design multiple choice questions at the level of application according to the blooms taxonomy levels. Respect the format of the NBME. Give me the answers with justification.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the creation of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) specifically for master degree students in orthopedic surgery. The questions should apply Bloom's Taxonomy levels and follow the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) format. The user also requests correct answers with accompanying justifications.
Answer
B) ACL reconstruction with graft and B) Total knee replacement are appropriate treatments for the scenarios described.
-
Which of the following surgical interventions is most suitable for treating an acute ACL tear in a 25-year-old athlete looking to return to competitive sports?
- A) Knee arthroscopy
- B) ACL reconstruction with graft
- C) Conservative rehabilitation
- D) Partial meniscectomy
Answer: B) ACL reconstruction with graft Justification: An ACL reconstruction with a graft is the best intervention for athletes planning to return to high levels of physical activity, as it restores stability to the knee and reduces the risk of further injury.
-
A 70-year-old patient with osteoarthritis is not responding to conventional treatments. What is the next appropriate step in the management?
- A) Continue with NSAIDs
- B) Total knee replacement
- C) Physiotherapy intensification
- D) Arthroscopic debridement
Answer: B) Total knee replacement Justification: Total knee replacement is often recommended for severe osteoarthritis when other treatments like NSAIDs or physical therapy do not provide relief, and the patient's quality of life is significantly affected.

More Information
These questions are designed at the application level of Bloom's Taxonomy, requiring students to apply their knowledge of orthopedic interventions in realistic clinical scenarios.
Tips
A common mistake is selecting options that are more conservative or less appropriate for the given patient's clinical scenario, which does not align with the patient's needs.
