All Hip, Pelvis, Misc.

Question 1

In order to best demonstrate the ala it must be –1– to the IR.

Answer 1

Parallel

Question 2

The proper degree of total abduction for the infant hip Andren Von Rosen Method should be –1–.

Answer 2

90 degrees

Question 3

The internal oblique for acetabulum will demonstrate the –1– portion of the structure.

Answer 3

Anterior

Question 4

This method will demonstrate the greater trochanter superimposed with the femoral neck.

Answer 4

Lauenstein

Question 5

The Clements Nakayama Method uses a CR that is directed –1–.

Answer 5

15 degrees posteriorly

Question 6

Name 2 reasons why the Chassard Lapine method is performed?

Answer 6

1. Measuring horizontal or in pelvimetry (childbirth)

2. Relationship of femoral head to acetabulum

Question 7

In order to demonstrate the left ala on a prone patient, state the necessary position.

Answer 7

RAO

Question 8

The proper degree of abduction for a Modified Cleaves Method for a unilateral hip should be –1–.

Answer 8

45 degrees

Question 9

The Hickey Method will utilize a CR angle of –1– degree –2–. Explain the importance of using this CR angle.

Answer 9

1. 20-35 degrees
2. cephalic
   Without the angle the femoral neck and greater trochanter won’t be free of superimposition.

Question 10

Why does the patient lean anteriorly for the Chassard-Lapine Method?

Answer 10

To get pelvic bones in contact with the table

Question 11

What is the disadvantage to performing the Friedman Method?

Answer 11

Too difficult for patient to achieve position

Question 12

Taylor Method angulations for men and women/why.

Answer 12

Men- 20-35 degrees cephalic
Women- 30-45 degrees cephalic
This is due to the differences in size and shape of men and women’s pelvis’/ childbearing.

Answer 13

AP axial lumbar (Lithotomy)

Question 14

What are the criteria for the pelvic inlet radiographs?

Medially superimposed superior and inferior pubic rami

Question 15

What position will the patient be placed in for the Lillienfeld method?

Answer 15

supine/ seated upright

Question 16

Anterior as needed
