Proximal stands for away from the root of the structure while distal stands for towards the root of the structure.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during an interview.The question is from Orthopaedics in section Orthopaedics of Clinical Science

Answer»

The CORRECT option is (b) False

Easiest explanation: The sentences have been interchanged. Proximal is towards the root of the STRUCTURE while distal is away from the root of the structure. For eg, the ELBOW JOINT is ALSO called the Proximal Radioulnar Articular (or superior radioulnar joint) while the wrist joint is called the distal radioulnar articulation (or inferior radioulnar joint).
