Chapter 7: Pelvis And Upper Femora Flashcards
Pelvic consists of four bones
Two hip bones
Sacrum
Coccyx
Pelvic girdle is composed of
Two hip bones
Hip bone or innominate bone (os coxae) consists of
Ilium
Pubis
Ischium
Small depression at the center of the femoral head whic is attaches to the ligamentum capitos femoris
Fovea capitis
Rheumatoid arthritis variant involving the SI joints and spine
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Malformation of the acetabulum causung displacement of femoral head
Congenital Hip Displasia
Flatenning of femoral head due to bascular interruption
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Proximal portion of femur dislocated from distal portion at the proximal epiphysis
Slipped epiphysis
Berkebile, Fischer and Albrecht recommended a ___________________ of the pelvis for demonstration of “gull-wing sign” in cases of fracture dislocation of the acetabular rim and posterior dislocation of the femoral head.
Dorsal decubitus Lateral projection
Method used for the purpose of measuring the horizontal, biischial, diameter in pelvimetry. Some radiographers use this method to determine relationship of the femoral head to the acetabulum and others employ it to demonstrate the opacified rectosigmoid portion of the colon
Chassard-Lapine Method
This projection is often called the bilateral “frog leg” position. Thos examination is contraindicated for the patient suspected of having a fracture or other parhologic disease.
Modified Cleaves Method
AP Oblique Projection
