Question

Match List I with List II.

List I	List II
A. Housemaid's knee B. Hoffa's disease C. Jumper's knee D. Chondromalacia	I. Inflamed fat pad of knee II. Patellar tendinitis III. Articular cartilage changes IV. Prepatellar bursitis

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• C. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Hint:

Housemaid = Bursa, Hoffa = Fat pad, Jumper = Tendon, Chondromalacia = Cartilage

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Common knee conditions are often named based on their anatomical structure involved or typical clinical population.

Step 1: Housemaid's knee.

• Caused by prolonged kneeling
• Leads to inflammation of prepatellar bursa Thus: \[ A \rightarrow IV \; (\text{Prepatellar bursitis}) \]

Step 2: Hoffa's disease.

• Involves inflammation of infrapatellar fat pad Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Jumper's knee.

• Associated with repetitive jumping activities
• Involves patellar tendon inflammation Thus: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Chondromalacia.

• Softening and degeneration of articular cartilage (especially patella) Thus: \[ D \rightarrow III \]

Step 5: Final mapping.
\[ A\!-\!IV,\; B\!-\!I,\; C\!-\!II,\; D\!-\!III \] \[ \boxed{\text{Correct answer = Option (2)}} \]
