final exam! Flashcards
what disease processes of the lungs are considered destructive?
Bronchiectasis
COPD
Cystic fibrosis (early stages)
Emphysema
what anatomy is best demonstrated on the medial obi elbow?
coronoid process
what anatomy is best demonstrated on the lateral obi elbow?
radial head and neck
what type of joint is the elbow joint?
ginglymus hinge type
what type of joint is the proximal radioulnar joint?
trochoidal or pivot type
what type of joint is the scapulohumeral joint?
speroidal or ball and socket, diarthroidal, synovial
what type of joint is the sternoclavicular joint?
gliding, diarthroidal, synovial
what type of joint is the ankle?
ginglymus hinge type, diarthroidal
what are the two joints of the knee and what are their types?
femorotibial-bycondylar
patellofemoral-sellar or saddle
what must you do when an elbow cannot be straightened out?
obtain two radiographs- one with the humerus parallel to the IR and one with the forearm parallel to the IR, CR directed at mid elbow joint
describe the Jones method?
done when patient cannot fully extend hand. Obtain 2 radiographs, one with CR perpendicular to the humerus and one with the CR perpendicular to the forearm
describe the coyle method:
trauma axial lateral elbow, one projection to demonstrate radial head and one projection to demonstrate coronoid process
what are the routine projections for demonstrating the AC joints?
AP bilateral with weights and AP bilateral without weights- CR to midpoint between AC joints, 1” above jugular notch; 14x7; Rule out fracture of the shoulder 1st
describe the transthoracic lateral humerus trauma view
Patient erect or supine
Place patient in lateral position with side of interest against IR
Affected side against the upright bucky
place affected arm at patients side, drop shoulder; raise opposite arm & place hand over top of head
CR directed to the surgical neck of the affected side, arm neutral- Use a breathing technique.
in a true AP ankle which malleoli will be more distal?
lateral malleoli
what are the differences between the male and female pelvis?
Male: more narrow, oval shaped, angle of pubic arch is less than 90 degrees
Female: more broad, round shaped, angle of pubic arch is greater than 90 degrees
how do you find the hip joint?
1-draw a line between the ASIS and the symphysis pubis-drop down 1 ½” from the middle of the line to locate the femoral head-drop down 2 ½” from the middle of the line to locate the femoral neck
2-Locate the ASIS and come medially 1-2”-drop down 3-4” to locate the femoral neck
