Q1 · Disc Prolapse
NEET PGMediumExplanation
A posterolateral L5-S1 disc prolapse typically compresses the S1 nerve root, causing pain radiating to the little toe, weak ankle plantarflexion, and a reduced ankle jerk. An L4-L5 prolapse usually affects the L5 root.
Q2 · Cauda Equina Syndrome
NEET PGHardExplanation
Cauda equina syndrome — saddle anaesthesia, bladder or bowel dysfunction, and bilateral leg symptoms — is a surgical emergency requiring urgent MRI and decompression to prevent permanent neurological damage.
Q3 · Straight Leg Raise
EasyExplanation
A positive straight-leg-raise (Lasègue) test reproduces radicular leg pain on raising the straight leg, indicating lumbosacral nerve root irritation, typically from a prolapsed disc.
Q4 · Ankylosing Spondylitis
MediumExplanation
Ankylosing spondylitis is a seronegative spondyloarthropathy associated with HLA-B27, causing inflammatory back pain — worse with rest, better with exercise, with morning stiffness — and progressive spinal fusion ('bamboo spine').
Q5 · Spinal Tuberculosis
HardExplanation
Spinal tuberculosis usually begins in the anterior vertebral body, leading to vertebral collapse and a gibbus (kyphotic) deformity, and may form a cold paravertebral abscess. It is the most common site of skeletal TB.
Spine sits within Orthopedics, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 5 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 Spine 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.
