Osteopathic Principles and Practice Qbank

Questions

Aligned with the American Osteopathic Association Board Certification format. Authored & peer-reviewed by faculty, clinicians, and program directors.

Each question is written to resemble the format and topics on the exam, meaning you won’t see any negatively phrased questions, no “all of the following except,” no “A and B”…you know what we mean. Most importantly, all questions include selective distractors (incorrect answer choices), which will help you think critically.

Must address important content
Must be well structured

Question

A 50-year-old man presents to your office with left elbow pain. The patient was walking and fell 4 days ago. He broke his fall with his pronated hand as he touched the ground. He was not injured and continued his walk, but he still has pain in his elbow. When examining his elbow, which of the following will be the most likely pathology of the radial head?

A Anterior glide restriction

B Medial glide restriction

C Posterior glide restriction

D Radial head subluxation

Correct Answer Distractors

Radial head motion is directly linked to the wrist position. When the wrist is in a pronated position, the distal radius will be in an anterior and medial position. A reciprocal motion of the radial head (proximal radius) happens at the same time, and it will glide posteriorly. Motion also occurs in the opposite direction. When the wrist is in a supinated position, the distal radius is in a posterior position, and the radial head glides anteriorly. This patient fell on his pronated hand, putting his radial head in a posterior glide. Therefore, the restricted position of the radial head will be the opposite, in an anterior glide restriction.

Explanations

Written with a purpose

Understanding why an answer choice is incorrect is just as important as knowing why one is correct. That’s why every Inceptestbank question includes detailed explanations for the correct and incorrect answer choices. These comprehensive summaries link the most important components of a topic—from risk factors to diagnostics and treatment—giving you the context to build relationships between them.
