PDF Notes: 2017 ASPS 2017 Preliminary Syllabus

What type of vascular anatomy does the sartorius muscle have?

It has multiple segmental vascular pedicles.

How does the rectus abdominis differ in vascular anatomy from the sartorius?

It has a type III vascular anatomy.

What is the best option for wound closure in irradiated tissue?

Transfer of healthy, nonirradiated tissue.

What happens if a split-thickness skin graft is used on an irradiated wound bed?

It would be inappropriate due to exposed bone.

Which muscle flap is most effective for chronic wounds in irradiated fields?

Ipsilateral latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap.

What is the consequence of using adjacent tissue transfer in irradiated areas?

It is prone to necrosis and wound breakdown.

What type of vascular anatomy is seen with the rectus femoris?

Type II vascular anatomy.

What is the implication of using negative pressure wound therapy on chronic wounds?

It may lead to recurrent chronic wounds.

What type of vascular anatomy does the sartorius muscle have?

Classified as type IV Mathes-Nahai with multiple segmental pedicles.

How does the rectus abdominis differ in vascular anatomy from the sartorius?

It has a type III vascular anatomy, not multiple segmental pedicles.

What is the best option for wound closure in an irradiated field?

Transfer of healthy, nonirradiated tissue after debridement.

What happens if a split-thickness skin graft is used on an irradiated wound bed?

It is inappropriate due to the risk of necrosis and poor healing.

What is the consequence of using adjacent tissue transfer in irradiated tissue?

It is prone to necrosis and recurrent chronic wound formation.

What type of flap is recommended for chronic wounds with exposed bone?

Ipsilateral latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is most effective.

What is the implication of using negative pressure wound therapy on chronic wounds?

It may lead to a recurrent chronic wound despite cleanliness.

What vascular anatomy type is associated with the rectus femoris muscle?

Type II Mathes-Nahai with a single dominant vascular pedicle.

What is the primary purpose of the In-Service Examination?

To enhance clinical knowledge and serve as a self-assessment tool.

What must be done before submitting answers for the In-Service Examination?

Answers must be saved and confirmed before submission.
