Q1 · Osteoarthritis
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Osteoarthritis shows joint space narrowing, osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis, and subchondral cysts on X-ray. Rheumatoid arthritis instead shows periarticular osteopenia and erosions with a symmetrical distribution.
Q2 · Rheumatoid Arthritis
MediumExplanation
Rheumatoid arthritis typically causes symmetrical involvement of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints, characteristically sparing the distal interphalangeal joints, which osteoarthritis often affects. Morning stiffness lasting over an hour is typical.
Q3 · Gout
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Gout results from deposition of monosodium urate crystals — needle-shaped and negatively birefringent — in the joint, classically the first metatarsophalangeal joint (podagra). Pseudogout, by contrast, involves calcium pyrophosphate crystals.
Q4 · Osteoporosis
EasyExplanation
A DEXA scan measures bone mineral density and gives the T-score used to diagnose osteoporosis, at or below -2.5. Plain X-rays only show osteopenia once bone loss is advanced.
Joint Disorders sits within Orthopedics, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 4 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or 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 Joint Disorders 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.
