Transthoracic Lateral Humerus Affected shoulder against IR, raise
Positioning unaffect arm
above head and anterior oblique slightly
towards
unaffected side (breathing on inspiration)
AP Shoulder External Rotation GT Greater tubercle in profile laterally
Position
AP Shoulder Neutral Rotation GT Greater tubercle partially superimposing
Position the
humeral head
AP Shoulder Internal Rotation GT Superimp with humeral head, Lesser
Position tubercle in
profile medially
Inferiorsuperior Axial Shoulder Pt supine, arm abducted 90 degrees with
Positioning elbow
extended + hand supinated
- IR perpendicular to neck on top of
shoulder
- CR angle 15-30 degrees medially
towards armpit
(decrease angle if pt unable to abduct arm)
, Inferiorsuperior Axial Shoulder Lesser tubercle anteriorly
what
is in profile?
AP Scapula Back of hand on forehead like you're
fainting
Lateral Scapula (Body) 45-60 degrees rotated towards side of
interest +
hug arm over to other side of body (to see
body)
PA Oblique Shoulder (Scap Y) Rotated 45-60 degrees towards side of
interest
Lateral Scapula (Coracoid + 45-60 degrees rotated towards side of
Acromion) interest +
back of hand on back of hip
How can you differentiate between BOTH: closed tibiotalar
proximal tibfib elevation (knee Knee raised = closed talocalcaneal jt
raised) vs elevated distal tibfib Ankle raised = OPEN taloclacaneal
elevation (ankle raised) in a
Lateral
Ankle/Foot
