Answer 2

clavicle
scapula

their function is to connect the upper limb to the trunk

Answer 3

shoulder girdle

it is classified as a long bone, has a body and two articular extremities

Answer 4

clavicle

Question 5

clavicle lies in a __________ oblique plane just above the 1st rib and forms the anterior part of the shoulder girdle

Answer 5

horizontal

Question 6

the lateral aspect which articulates with the acromion process of the scapula

Answer 6

acromial extremity

Question 7

the medial aspect which articulates with the manubrium of the sternum and the 1st costal cartilage

Answer 7

sternal extremity

Question 8

it is classified as a flat bone, forms the posterior part of the shoulder girdle

Answer 8

scapula

Question 9

triangular in shape with 2 surfaces, 3 borders and 3 angles

Answer 9

scapula

Question 10

it is lying on the superoposterior thorax between the 2nd and 7th ribs

Answer 10

scapula

Question 11

the proximal end of the humerus consists of the:

Answer 11

head
anatomic neck and surgical neck
two prominent processes

Question 12

articulation between the glenoid cavity and head of the humerus that forms a synovial ball and socket joint allowing movement in all directions

Answer 12

scapulohumeral articulation

Question 13

articulation between the acromion process of scapula and the acromial extremity of the clavicle, forms the synovial gliding joint, permits both gliding and rotary movement

Answer 13

acromioclavicular articulation

Question 14

rotary movements

Answer 14

elevation
depression
protraction
retraction

Question 15

articulation formed by the sternal extremity of the clavicle with two bones: manubrium and 1st rib cartilage

this is a synovial double gliding joint, the movement is similar to ball and socket joint

Answer 15

sternoclavicular articulation

Question 16

AP projection that is the greater tubercle of the humerus and the site of insertion of the supraspinatus tendon are visualized

Answer 16

external

Question 17

AP projection when the posterior part of the supraspinatus insertion, which sometimes profiles small calcific deposit not otherwise visualized

Answer 17

neutral

Question 18

AP projection that the proximal humerus is seen in a true lateral position

Answer 18

internal

Question 19

AP projection where humeral head in profile and greater tubercle in profile on the lateral aspect of the humerus

Answer 19

external rotation

Question 20

AP projection that is greater tubercle partially superimposing the humeral head, humeral head in partial profile and slight overlap of the humeral head on the glenoid cavity

Answer 20

neutral rotation

Question 21

AP projection where lesser tubercle in profile and pointing medially

Answer 21

internal rotation

Question 22

it is used when trauma exist and the arm cannot rotated or abducted because of an injury

Answer 22

transthoracic lateral - lawrence method

Question 23

an exaggerated external rotation of the arm is required. With the same position as Lawrence, externally rotate the extended arm until the hand forms a 45 degree oblique with the thumb pointing downward. Assist the patient to avoid overstressing the joint

Answer 23

rafert modification

Question 24

compression fracture on the posterolateral humeral head maybe seen using Rafert

Answer 24

hill sachs

Question 25

defect caused by anterior dislocation of the humeral head resulting in a wedge compression fracture of the articular surface of the humeral head

Answer 25

hill sachs

Question 26

Relationship of the proximal end of the humerus and glenoid cavity. The acromioclavicular articulation, outer portion of coracoid process, and the point of insertion of the subscapularis muscle (at body of scapula) and teres minor muscle (at inferior axillary border

Answer 26

superoinferior axial projection

Question 27

the body of the scapula forms the vertical component of the Y and the acromion and coracoid processes form the upper limbs

this projection is useful in the evaluation of suspected shoulder dislocations

Answer 27

scapular Y PA oblique

Question 28

The joint space between the humeral head and then glenoid cavity (scapulohumeral joint) is shown.

Answer 28

AP oblique projection - grashey method

Question 29

Bilateral i mages of the acromioclavicular joints are demonstrated.

This projection is used to demonstrate dislocation, separation, and function of the joints.

Answer 29

AP projection bilateral - pearson method

Question 30

shows the acromioclavicular joint projected slightly superiorly compared with AP projection

Answer 30

AP axial projection - alexander method

Question 31

An axial image of the clavicle is projected above the ribs.

Answer 31

AP axial projection - lordotic position

Question 32

3 modifications for AP oblique projection RPO or LPO position

Answer 32

moderate oblique
steeper oblique
direct lateral

Question 33

what kind of oblique is when patient arm extended
superiorly with flexed elbow and supinated hand under the head or have the patient extend affected arm across anterior chest, then patient turn from the affected side to rotate the shoulder 15-25 degrees

Answer 33

moderate oblique

Question 34

what kind of oblique is when patient extend the arm flexed elbow rested on the forehead, rotate the body away from the affected side 25-35 degrees

Answer 34

steeper oblique

Question 35

draw the arm across the chest and adjust body rotation to place the scapula perpendicular to the IR

Answer 35

direct lateral
