Part B Boards Review By Baxter Hickey 2019 Questions Radiology Portion Case 1 25-year-old female was in a MVA 2 days prior and presented to the chiropractic clinic with a lot of pain and stiﬀness in her neck. X-rays were taken to rule out any form of pathology or fracture First question asked what was present. The only ﬁnding was that there was a loss of cervical lordosis. This was a bit tricky because people were looking for teardrop fractures, but there were none. Next question asked what the cause of her pain would be, which was muscular contracture and hypertonicity Last question asked what would do for this patient. In this case, since there were no fractures or any contraindications to care, you could proceed with conservative management Case 2 This case had a father bringing in his 16-month-old son in for a check-up since the child would not walk and was having diﬃculties crawling. The image was a pelvic x-ray and it showed a child with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) First question wanted you to mention what the ﬁndings were, which were the classic Putti’s Triad (shallow acetabulum, superolaterally located femoral epiphysis, and a small epiphysis). Second question wanted the diagnosis, which was DDH Third question wanted to know the POM, which was to send to orthopedic referral for bracing Case 3 A 66-year-old man with a stiﬀ and tight low back pain since he was 16 presented to the oﬃce after he had a fall and hit his head on the island table when he felt a popping sensation in his neck. X-ray showed classic AS ﬁndings First question wanted to know the ﬁndings, which were trolley track/bamboo spine, ghost SI joints, and syndesmophytes Second question asked what ﬁnding was present in the cervical spine, which was a carrot stick fracture (this makes sense as he had a trauma and felt a popping sensation in his neck Third question wanted to know POM, which was to send to ER with a neck brace on Case 4: A 54-year-old construction worker came into the clinic with a sore low back of idiopathic onset. X-rays were taken In this case, the patient had moderate to severe DDD with a spondylolytic spondylolisthesis of L5 on S1. First question wanted you to describe where the most pertinent ﬁnding was. So I chose spondy of L5 on S1. Second question wanted to know what the name of the assessment tool was for describing the most pertinent ﬁnding based on your last answer. Answer was Meyerding’s Method Case 5 A 42-year-old patient came in with right shoulder pain and restricted ROM. A shoulder x-ray series was taken You could see calciﬁcation of the supraspinatus tendon First question wanted to know what the ﬁnding was (see above) Second question wanted to know the pathophysiology of the ﬁnding was, which was deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals in the tendon Third question wanted to know your POM, which was to proceed with treatment (this condition is self-limiting anyways, with or without treatment) Case 6 A chest ﬁlm of a patient with a productive cough with a lot of sputum production. This was an x-ray of lung consolidation First question wanted to know which lobe the ﬁnding was in, which was the right upper lobe Second question wanted to know what sign was present, which was air bronchogram sign (only consolidation has this ﬁnding) Third wanted to know the diagnosis, which was lobar pneumonia. Case 7 An older male patient came in with a primary complaint of low back pain with occasional abdominal pain. Lumbar x-ray showing severe DDD and calciﬁc plaquing in the abdominal aorta seen on the lateral view, but no evidence of aneurysm. This was kind of a weird case, since the questions weren’t really related to one another First question wanted to know what the most likely cause of his low back pain, which was the DDD Second question wanted to know how you would manage the visceral ﬁnding, which in this case was the atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta, which would be to send them to GP for Doppler ultrasound and possible medication prescription Case 8 A 12-year-old patient came in with a complaint of an “ugly curvature” in her back that she is self-conscious about. This was a scoliosis case, quite a severe one to be honest First question wanted you to describe what kind of scoliosis it was, which in this case was a double s-shaped thoracolumbar scoliosis Second question wanted to know what the assessment method is called that is used to assess the curve, which is Cobb’s method Third question wanted to know what your plan of management would be. The only option that made sense was refer for bracing Case 9 This case was super easy. It was a young male patient who came in and you notice a “palpable lump” close to their GH joint X-ray showed a pedunculated osteochondroma Only question from this case wanted to know what type of bone tumor it was, which is benign, since it wasn’t causing any pain Case 10 Last rad case was a young male patient who came in because he wanted help with his “bad posture”. They had an image of a tightly collimated T/spine showing irregular endplates and anterior wedging. Only question wanted to know the radiographic reason for the bad posture, which was loss of anterior vertebral body height Conversely, one of the practice questions on the CCEB website had a similar question, but it wanted to know the pathophysiology of the disease, which would be irregular endplates due to the vascular disease that it is). So a lot of people chose that as the answer Multiple Choice Questions 1. A 58-year-old male patient comes in with overall back stiﬀness. He also reports gastrointestinal distress, urinary incontinence, and a bruise on his iliac crest. Physical exam reveals bilateral restrictions from T7-9.
