body and ischial rams, forms 2/5 of the acetabulum
weight rests on the _____

acetabulum and the femoral head
the pubic symphysis is b/w the:
pubes of the hip bones
the sacroiliac joints are b/w the _____ and are ____ angled from the MSP
right and left ilia and the sacrum and are 25-30° angled from the MSP
femoral necks projection is aka:
modified cleaves method or bilateral frog leg
IR for bilateral femoral necks? unilateral?
14x17 CW; 10x12 CW
top of IR is at:
center of IR is:
1-1.5” above the crests
1” above the pubic symphysis
how much should the thighs be abducted for the AP bilateral femoral necks?
25-45°
respiration for the femoral necks?
suspend
CR for femoral necks?
1” above the pubic symphysis
IR for AP hip:
10x12 LW
what do you do with the lower limb?
rotate it medially 15-20°
top of IR for AP hip is:
1.5” below the crest
CR for AP hip is:
perp.
what will be seen in profile?
greater trochanter
what is the lateral hip used to show?
the hip joint and the relationship b/w the femoral head and the acetabulum
IR for lateral hip?
10x12 CW
you should try to flex the affected knee how much for lateral hip?
45°
the CR for lateral hip is:
halfway b/w ASIS and pubic symphysis
respiration for lateral hip:
suspend
the CR angle for the lateral hip Hickey method is:
20-25°
in the lateral hip Hickey method the _____ is free of superimposition from the _____
femoral neck from the greater trochanter
the axiolateral hip is aka:
Danielus-Miller Method
in the Danielus-Miller method what do you do with the unaffected limb?
flex the hip and knee and raise the thigh vertically
in the Danielus-Miller method what do you do with the affected limb?
rotate it 15-20° medially
the position of the IR for Danielus-Miller method is:
vertical with the upper border in the crease above the iliac crest, angled to be parallel with the femoral neck
CR for Danielus-Miller method is:
perp. to the long axis of the femoral neck
IR for AP femur:
14x17 LW for part closest to injury and 10x12 LW for end farthest from injury
SID for femur:
40”
position for lower limb for AP femur to include the knee; bottom of IR:
rotate internally to anatomic position, epicondyles are parallel with IR; bottom of IR 2” beyond knee joint
position for lower limb for AP femur to include the hip; top of IR:
rotate the limb 10-15°; top of IR at level of ASIS
for the lateral femur how much do you flex the knee? you want the epicondyles?
45°; perp. to the IR
in the lateral femur including the hip how much and what direction do you rotate the pelvis? where is the top of the IR?
10-15° posteriorly; at the level of the ASIS
in the lateral femur including the knee you want the bottom of the IR?
2” behind the knee joint
in the lateral femur you want the condyles; with what in the profile?
superimposed; the patella in profile
