Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these is a benign neoplasm of bone?

Answer: Enchondromatosis

Although it has the potential to change into malignant osteoma, enchondromatosis is usually benign.
2. Parathyroid hormone is released in response to which of these?

Answer: Decreased serum calcium

Parathyroid hormone acts to increase low serum calcium levels mainly by stimulating osteoclastic bone resorption.
3. Which of these is the metabolically active form of Vitamin D?

Answer: Calcitriol

Vitamin D is metabolized in the liver and kidneys to produce its active form 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D3.
4. Which one of these is NOT a likely cause of osteoporosis?

Answer: Vitamin D deficiency

Vitamin D deficiency is usually associated with osteomalacia, not osteoporosis.
5. Which of these can be a problem with infants fed exclusively on breast milk?

Answer: Breast milk is low in vitamin D

Breast milk has little vitamin D, often because the mother herself has a low amount in her body due to the pregnancy. Medical authorities around the world, including the USA and UK, recommend a breast fed baby be given vitamin D drops as a supplement.
6. Which of these options is a form of dwarfism?

Answer: Achondroplasia

Achondroplasia results in arrested bone growth. Sufferers have normal trunk length but abnormally short limbs.
7. Which of these is NOT an example of predisposition to dysplasia of the hip?

Answer: Delivery by caesarean section

The method of delivery has nothing to do with dysplasia, or developmental dislocation, of the hip. However, if the baby is in a breech position, meaning that a caesarean section delivery is recommended, that could also predispose dysplasia.
8. Slipped upper femoral epiphysis is common in which age group?

Answer: Adolescents

This occurs during the period of long bone growth in adolescents and is more common in overweight children. The head of the femur slips out of position causing pain and needs surgery to pin it into place.
9. Legg-Calve-Perthe's disease is an example of which of these?

Answer: Avascular necrosis of the head of femur

Legg-Calve-Perthe's is a children's disorder with a predisposition for males. The cause is unknown but the blood supply eventually returns to the head of femur with slow, but certain, bone healing.
10. What is Pott's disease?

Answer: Tuberculosis in the spine

This is commonly a spread of tuberculosis from the lungs to the spine. If it affects the intervertebral disc,which can happen if it's sandwiched between two affected vertebrae, the affected area will collapse.
