Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Practice Test

Which of the following injuries are typically associated with the Don Juan Syndrome?

1. Knee dislocations

2. Ankle fractures

3. Hip injuries

4. Wrist sprains

The correct answer is: Hip injuries

The correct answer relates to Don Juan Syndrome, which is characterized by injuries resulting from high-energy activities and often correlates with specific types of trauma. The syndrome typically involves hip injuries, particularly as a result of falls from heights or activities that exert significant stress on the hip joint. In contrast, while knee dislocations, ankle fractures, and wrist sprains can occur in various contexts, they are not specifically associated with the mechanics and situations that typically result in Don Juan Syndrome. Hip injuries are more closely linked to the high-impact nature of activities that lead to this syndrome, making them the most relevant choice.
