KROK 1 2011 – Question 182 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
An older woman has been hospitalised for acute pain and edema of the right hip joint that appered after a fall. Objectively: the hip is adduced inwards, hip joint movements are impaired. The patient is most likely to have a fracture of the following bone or bone part:
- A. Femoral neck
- B. Shaft of femur
- C. Ischial bone
- D. Pubic bone
- E. Condyle of femur
Hint
Combine the patient's age and sex with a low-energy fall and symptoms confined to the hip joint, then ask which bone segment is typically broken.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
