Q

Ulnar Deviation

A

Movement of the wrist “opens up” and best demonstrates the carpals on the opposite side (the radial or lateral side) of the wrist—the scaphoid, trapezium, and trapezoid.

Q

The principal exposure factors for radiography of the upper limbs are:

A
  1. Lower to medium kVp (60 to 80—digital)
  2. Short exposure time
  3. Small focal spot
  4. Adequate mAs for sufficient density (brightness)

21
Q

The following three positioning principles should be remembered for upper limb examinations:

A
  1. Part should be parallel to plane of IR.
  2. CR should be 90° or perpendicular to part and IR, unless a specific CR angle is indicated.
  3. CR should be directed to correct centering point.
22
Q

Arthrography

A

Commonly used to image tendinous, ligamentous, and capsular pathology associated with diarthrodial joints, such as the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and ankle.

23
Q

Barton fracture

A

Fracture and dislocation of the posterior lip of the distal radius involving the wrist joint.

24
Q

Bennett fracture

A

Fracture of the base of the first metacarpal bone, extending into the carpometacarpal joint, complicated by subluxation with some posterior displacement.

25
Q

Boxer fracture

A

Transverse fracture that extends through the metacarpal neck; most commonly seen in the fifth metacarpal.

26
Q

Colles fracture

A

Transverse fracture of the distal radius in which the distal fragment is displaced posteriorly; an associated ulnar styloid fracture is seen in 50% to 60% of cases.

27
Q

Smith fracture

A

Reverse of Colles fracture, or transverse fracture of the distal radius with the distal fragment displaced anteriorly.

28
Q

Osteoarthritis

A

noninflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic (enlarged or overgrown) bone formation.

29
Q

Osteomyelitis

A

local or generalized infection of bone or bone marrow that may be caused by bacteria introduced by trauma or surgery.

30
Q

Osteopetrosis

A

hereditary disease marked by abnormally dense bone.

31
Q

Osteoporosis

A

reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue.

32
Q

Paget disease

A

a common chronic skeletal disease; it is characterized by bone destruction followed by a reparative process of overproduction of very dense yet soft bones that tend to fracture easily.

33
Q

Rheumatoid

A

a chronic systemic disease with inflammatory changes throughout the connective tissues; the earliest change is soft tissue swelling that is most prevalent around the ulnar styloid of the wrist.

34
Q

Skier’s thumb

A

a sprain or tear of the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb near the MCP joint of the hyperextended thumb.

35
Q

accurate lateral

A

90° flexion, along with possible associated visualization of fat pads, are essential for evaluation of joint pathology of the elbow.

36
Q

five ligaments are commonly imaged with conventional arthrography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI):

A
  • Dorsal radiocarpal ligament
  • Palmar radiocarpal ligament
  • Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC)
  • Scapholunate ligament
  • Lunotriquetral ligament
37
Q

The bones of the upper limb can be divided into four main groups:

A

(1) hand and wrist
(2) forearm
(3) arm (humerus)
(4) shoulder girdle

38
Q

phalanges

A

most distal bones of the hand which constitute the digits (fingers and thumb).

39
Q

metacarpals

A

The second group of bones. these bones make up the palm of each hand.

40
Q

carpals

A

The third group of bones. Consists of the bones of the wrist.

41
Q

posterior fat pad

A

located deep within the olecranon fossa and normally is not visible on a negative elbow examination.

42
Q

supinator fat stripe

A

a long, thin stripe just anterior to the proximal radius. It may indicate the diagnosis of radial head or neck fractures that are not obviously apparent.

43
Q

Each phalanx consists of three parts:

A

a distal rounded head, a body (shaft), and an expanded base, similar to that of the metacarpals.

44
Q

head

A

the rounded portion

45
Q

body

A

(shaft) is the long-curved portion; the anterior part is concave in shape, and the posterior, or dorsal, portion is convex.

46
Q

base

A

the expanded proximal end, which articulates with associated carpals.

47
Q

ulnar notch

A

a small depression on the medial aspect of the distal radius.

48
Q

head of the ulna

A

fits into the ulnar notch to form the distal radioulnar joint. located near the wrist at the distal end of the ulna.

49
Q

head of the radius

A

located at the proximal end of the radius near the elbow joint. The long midportion of both the radius and the ulna is called the body(shaft).

50
Q

fat pads, fat bands, or stripes

A

Radiographs of the upper and lower limbs are taken not only to evaluate for disease or trauma to bony structures but also to assess associated soft tissues
