Rad 210 Upper Limb Laisha Hill Flashcards
The most distal bones of the hand are
phalanges
What bones make up the palm of each hand
metacarpals
The thumb has only two phalanges, so the joint between them is called what
interphalangeal (IP) joint.
The joint between the first metacarpal and the proximal phalanx of the thumb is called what
first metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint.
from the most distal portion of each digit, the joints are
distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, followed by the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, and, most proximally, the MCP joint.
At the proximal end, the metacarpals articulate with the respective carpals and are called
carpometacarpal (CMC) joints
The five metacarpals articulate with specific carpals as follows:
- First metacarpal with trapezium
- Second metacarpal with trapezoid
- Third metacarpal with capitate
- Fourth and fifth metacarpal with hamate
soft tissues, such as certain accumulations of fat called
fat pads, fat bands, or stripes
is located deep within the olecranon fossa and normally is not visible on a negative elbow examination where
The posterior fat pad
supinator fat stripe
a long, thin stripe just anterior to the proximal radius.
The third carpal is the
triquetrum(tri-kwe′-trum), which has three articular surfaces and is distinguished by its pyramidal shape and anterior articulation with the small pisiform.
lunate
is the second carpal in the proximal row; it articulates with the radius.
the smallest of the carpal bones, is located anterior to the triquetrum and is most evident in the carpal canal or tangential projection
pisiform
what do steve the left the party to take carol home
Scaphoid,Lunate,Triquetrum,Pisiform,Trapezium, Trapezoid,Capitate, Hamate
A good criterion by which to evaluate a true lateral position of the elbow when it is flexed at what degree
90 degree
The trochlear notch of the ulna appears as a third arc of what
a true lateral of the elbow
The wrist joint is an
ellipsoidal type joint and is the most freely movable, or diarthrodial, of the synovial classification
the posterior fat pad is located where ?
deep within the olecranon fossa and normally is not visible on a negative elbow examination
The supinator fat stripe location
is 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.
what is the degree for a ap oblique for a finger
45 degree
ap projection of the thumb what needs to be seen while doing this projection
Distal and proximal phalanges, firstmetacarpal, trapezium, and associated joints are visible
the phalanges are composed of
the body, head and base
what carpal bones are in the distal row ?
trapezium,trapezoid,capitate, hamate
what carpal bones are in the proximal row?
scaphoid, lunate , triquetrum, pisiform
what is seen well on an ap radiograph of the forearm?
radialtuberoisty
the head of the ulna is near the what joint
wrist
when the forearm is pronated it is
crossed (the ulna and radius
where do you center for a thumb pa or pa oblique
1st mcp joint
where do you center a hand for an x tray
3rd MCP joint
where do you center for ulna deviation
scaphoid carpal bone
what is the carpal bridge
tangential projection of wrist
what is the routine order for fingers
pa,pa lateral, oblique
what is the routine order for a hand
PA,PA lateral (FAN) ,PA oblique
To make best use of the anode heel effect place the ____under the ____of a forearm ray
elbow, cathode
where do you center for the carpal bridge x ray
-angle the cr 45 degrees to the long axis of the forearm
-CR at the midpoint of the distal forearm about 1.5 inch proximal to wrist joint
largest carpal bone
scaphoid
to properly position for AP of elbow, epicondyles must be ___to IR
Parallel
what is the structural classification of the joints of upper limb
synovial
what type of functional joint is the radioular joint b
Ellipsoidal
what functional type of joint is the elbow
ginglyums (hinge)
the ulna is on what side of the forearm
medial / pinky side
the first and smallest arc of the lateral elbow
trochlear sulcus
how many carpal bones are there
8
the correct term for the wrist is scaphoid or navicular
scaphoid , although sometime is called navicular like the tarsal in foot
which bone of the forearm is more stationary
the ulna. remember the radius rotates around.
the tapered constricted area just under the head of the radius is called the?
Neck
olecranon can be palpated where ?
the posterior aspect of the elbow joint
coronoid process is located where
the one located inferior to the olecranon
the expanded distal end of the humerus
humeral condyle
an upper limb cast requires ___ exposure
increased, the increase depends on thickness and type of cast
