Pelvis and Upper Femora Flashcards
Rotate feet and lower limb 15-20deg medially to place femoral neck parallel to plane
AP Recumbent of Pelvis
AP Hips
Axiolat Hips (Danelius Miller)
RP: MP of cxt 2” below ASIS and 2” above SP/ upper edge of cxt
AP Rec of pelvis
Demo frontal view of pelvic head, neck, trochanters, prox one third and one fourth shaft of femora
AP Rec pelvis
Recommended 2 AP proj to demo relationship of femoral head and acetabulum
Martz and Taylor (Pelvis)
Martz and Taylor CRD and Objective
1st proj- CR perp SP to demo lat and superior displacement of femoral head
2nd proj- CR 45 cranial: SP to demo anterior displaced femoral head above acetabulum and posteriorly displaced head below acetabulum
Why should LE be extended in lateral recumbent proj of pelvis?
To prevent femora to superimpose with pubic arch
CRD: (v)- 36-40”- MCP 2” above greater trochanter- MP- CXT
Lateral recumbent proj (Upright) of Pelvis
Demo lat lumbosacral jt, sacrum, coccyx, upper femora, and superimposed hip jt
Lateral recumbent proj (Upright) of Pelvis
Recommended dorsal decubitus (pelvis) to demo gull wing sign
Berkebile, Fischer, Albrecht
Vertical axis of pelvis 45deg forward
Chassard-Lapine Method (Axial Proj)
14x17- BD/ top RT- CW- MP- level- both greater trochanters
Chassard-Lapine Method (Axial Proj)
Perp- 36-40”- lumbosacral region- level GT
Chassard-Lapine Method (Axial Proj) of Femoral Neck
Demo axial img- pelvis, relationship bn femoral heads and acetabulum and pelvic bones
Chassard-Lapine Method (Axial Proj)
Est. draw a line bn ASIS and PS, and est 2 1/2 distal
AP Hips
Demo head, neck, trochanter, and prox 1/3 of body of femur
AP Hips
AP Hips
For trauma pts, perform —
bedside radphy
Abduct thighs approx 25-45 deg from vertical to place LA of femoral neck // to IR
APO Proj of Femoral Neck
Modified Cleaves Method (Bilat Frog Leg Position)
RP: 1” above SP
APO Proj of Femoral Neck
Modified Cleaves Method (Bilat Frog Leg Position)
Abduct thigh approx 45deg from lat
APO Proj of Femoral Neck
Modified Cleaves Method (Unilateral)
RP: Affected femoral neck
APO Proj of Femoral Neck
Modified Cleaves Method (Unilateral)
Demo bilat oblique image of femoral head, neck, and trochanters
APO Proj of Femoral Neck
Modified Cleaves Method (Bilat Frog Leg Position)
CRD // with femoral shafts (25-45dg angulation)
Axiolateral Proj of Femoral neck (Original Cleaves Method)
Reco taking a bilateral hip proj with both legs forcibly abducted to at least 45deg with inward rotation of the femora
Andren and von Rosen
Described the construction of a device that controlled the degree of abduction and rotation of both limbs.
