Q1 · Fracture Healing
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Secondary (indirect) fracture healing proceeds through haematoma and inflammation, then soft (fibrocartilaginous) callus, hard (bony) callus, and finally remodelling. It occurs with relative stability, such as with a cast.
Q2 · Compartment Syndrome
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Pain out of proportion to the injury and aggravated by passive stretching of the muscles in the compartment is the earliest and most reliable sign. Pulselessness and paralysis are late signs, by which time irreversible damage may have occurred. Treatment is urgent fasciotomy.
Q3 · Fat Embolism
HardExplanation
Fat embolism syndrome typically follows long-bone fractures within 24 to 72 hours, with the triad of respiratory distress, neurological changes, and a petechial rash. Management is largely supportive; early fracture fixation reduces the risk.
Q4 · Open Fracture
MediumExplanation
Open fractures require early antibiotics, tetanus prophylaxis, and urgent debridement of devitalised tissue with fracture stabilisation to reduce infection risk. The Gustilo-Anderson classification grades severity and guides management.
Q5 · Delayed Union
EasyExplanation
Delayed union is healing that is slower than expected but still progressing. Non-union is failure of healing with no further progress, malunion is healing in a poor position, and pseudoarthrosis is a false joint at a non-union site.
Q6 · Pathological Fracture
MediumExplanation
A pathological fracture occurs through bone weakened by underlying disease — metastasis, myeloma, osteoporosis, or cysts — with trivial or no trauma. Its presence should prompt a search for the underlying cause.
Q7 · Stress Fracture
HardExplanation
A stress fracture results from repetitive loading, as in marching or running, and often has a normal early X-ray, showing only later or on MRI or bone scan. The metatarsals and tibia are common sites; rest is the mainstay of treatment.
Fractures sits within Orthopedics, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 2 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Fractures marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Orthopedics examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
Yes. Every question and explanation in this Fractures set is free and open — no login, no form and no payment. The explanation appears the moment you answer.
Fractures sits within Orthopedics, which appears in the same form in both syllabuses. Fractures, bone tumours and orthopaedic clinicals, a subject where named injuries and their complications carry the marks.
