MSK-FX-UE Flashcards
What is req in a shoulder series X Ray?
- AP- ER exposed G. tuberosity.
- AP- IR G.tuberosity less exposed.
- Y- scapula view.
- DDX dislocations. Axillary- Dislocation, glenoid,
What is the special view of the glenoid?
AP oblique
WHat is showing In the Y trans scapular view?
- Top of Y is coracoid process and scapular spine.
- Bottom is scapula body
What is DX of humerus is ER and inferior to glenoid?
ANT dislocation. MC. Pt. fixed in ER, AB
Pt is in ER from MVA, holding arm in ADD, IR, cannot ER. Xray shows humeral head even lined up with glenoid?
- POST Dislocation.
- NO G. Tuberosity
- ***Hard to tell, consider CP of Pt..
What can be used to determine dislocation on Y view?
- ANT- humeral is MEDIAL to Y
- POST- humeral head is LATERAL to Y
What can be seen on Axillary view, rare for Dislocations?
- POST-Humeral head is far from coracoid, and inferior to glenoid.
- ANT- Humeral head overlaps coracoid
What is cond/XRay if pt is in a MVA with arm ABD fixed?
Luxatio Erecta- humerus severely inferior to glenoid fossa
What complication is from multiple dislocation, where the humeral head is impinged under ant glenoid rim leading to impaction FX on posterolateral humeral head?
Hill Sachs Fx
What can occur post reduction of dislocation on the glenoid rim?
BANKART FX. Labrum Tear
what are secondary injuries from mechanism of most dislocation?
- Avulsion of tuberosity RTC.
- Jt instability.
- Axillary nerve. ALWAYS check neurological
What is LC FX from direct impact, least problematic d/t 2/2 injuries in lungs where you must order a CXR, CT later, and Y view?
- Scapula FX- ALWAY GET CXR ASAP. Body MC.
- Risk Hemi, Pneumothorax, Failed Chest.
What is MC location of clavicle fX w/ what views?
- Middle 1/3.
- Distal 1/3 Elderly.
- AP and ANGled -15deg
What is used to determine 4 types of AC separation?
- SAND BAG wt bearing view-
- Type 1 partial tear,
- Type 2 Widening
- Type 3 AC and CC ligament.
- Type 4 impaction
What mm determine Type 2 vs Type 3?
>8mm vs >13mm
Describe caution of FX at humeral neck?
Surgical neck axillary blood supply AVN.
MC -impaction, comminuted, shortened
What views are reQ for elbow to the NORMAL Fig 8?
Lateral-90deg flexed handshake. Fig 8-capitelulm and trochlear bottom of 8, condyles superimposed
What views are reQ for elbow to seen the condyles?
Med. Oblique
What views are reQ for elbow to seen radiocapitellar?
Lateral Oblique
What views are reQ for elbow to radial head?
Capitellum view- Fig 8
Describe the fat pad sign and what it indicates?
- Hemarthrosis.
- Lucent -ANt. fat bad distal bicep-Normal
- FX= extended.
- ANY Posterior fat pad= FX
What is indicated if the Ant humeral and Radiocapitellar line don’t bisect the middle 1/3 capitellum?
FRACTURE
