joints of the shoulder griddle - ANSWER- sternoclaviculkar (ball & socket)
acromioclavicular (plane)
scapulohumeral (plane)
ALL synovial/diarthrodial
AP Humerus Projection - ANSWER- -Shoulder placed in external rotation
-Epicondyles will be parallel to the IR
-Hands supinated
-Center to mid-humerus
Lateromedial Humerus Projection - ANSWER- -Back to IR
-internal rotation
-epicondyles perpendicular to IR
-Center to mid-humerus
Mediolateral Humerus Projection - ANSWER- -Patient facing IR
-oblique as needed (20-30 from PA)
-flex elbow 90 degrees
-Center to mid-humerus
what projection is done for fractures of the diaphysis of the humerus? - ANSWER-
transthoracic lateral projection: Humerus (trauma)
, Lawrence Method (nontrauma) - ANSWER- inferosuperior axial projection-shoulder
-Patient supine
-Arm abducted 90 degrees, external rotation
-CR 25-30 medially into axilla (humeral head
-done to see head of humerus and scapulohumeral cavity
Hill-Sachs defect - ANSWER- Compression fracture of the articular surface of the
humeral head
what position is done to see the the scapulohumeral joint space? - ANSWER- Grashey
Method
-checking for bankart lesions, erosion of the glenoid rim, integerity of joint.
How should you angle the CR for an AP axial of the clavicle? - ANSWER- 15-30
cephalic
what angle will asthenic patients need for an AP axial of the clavicle? - ANSWER- 25-30
cephalic
what angle will hypersthenic patients need for an AP axial of the clavicle? - ANSWER-
15-20 cephalic
why is the Pearson method done? - ANSWER- possible AC joint separation
-Center midpoint to AC joints
AC joint rules - ANSWER- always 72 inches
always bilateral
always w and w/o weights
minimum weight to be used for Pearson method? - ANSWER- 8-10 lbs
why cant the patient hold the weights for AP AC joint projection? - ANSWER- patients
tend to pull on the weights which results in contraction instead of relaxation of the
shoulder muscle. False-negative radiograph
AP Scapula - ANSWER- -Arm abducted 90 degrees
-Hand supinated
(Abduction moves scapula laterally to clear more thoracic structures)
-Center 2 inches inferior to coracoid (level of axilla)
