5. A 28-year-old professional tennis player presents with wrist pain following a fall on her outstretched hand during a match. On examination, there is tenderness in the anatomical snuffbox and reduced range of motion. An initial X-ray is inconclusive. Considering the high risk of complications associated with this region, the patient is referred for an MRI, which reveals a fracture.
Question: Based on the patient’s presentation and diagnostic findings, what is the most likely diagnosis?
A.Scaphoid Waist Fracture
B Distal Radius Fracture
C. Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Tear
D. Scapholunate Ligament Tear

d) Deep palmar branch of the ulnar nerve
4. You are evaluating a 25-year-old patient with a history of lateral ankle pain after an inversion injury during a soccer game. Upon examination, you perform the Talar Tilt Test to assess ligament integrity.

A. The anterior talofibular ligament; minimal or no laxity and mild discomfort.
B. The calcaneofibular ligament; minimal or no laxity and mild discomfort.
C. The posterior talofibular ligament; significant laxity and no pain.
D. The deltoid ligament; moderate laxity and swelling
