Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The knee prosthesis consists of a multiradius femoral component, a modular tibial component, and a patellar component. The types of prostheses to be used depend on the deformity of the femorotibial articulation, patellofemoral articulation, and the structure of the cruciate and collateral ligaments. Arthroplasty is the reconstruction of a joint.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Arthroscopy is the visualization of the interior of a joint through an arthroscope. Arthroscopy can be used on the shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, hip, and ankle.
