SHOULDER GIRDLE Flashcards
Enumerate the three (3) rotations involved for AP Projection of the Shoulder:
- External Rotation Humerus
- Neutral Rotation Humerus
- Internal Rotation Humerus
Fill the following relationships of the provided Shoulder AP Projection variations with the plane of the IR:
External =
Neutral =
Internal =
External = PARALLEL
Neutral = OBLIQUE
Internal = PERPENDICULAR
RP for AP Projection of Shoulder
1 inch inferior to the Coracoid Process
A method used when trauma exists and the arm cannot be rotated or abducted because of an injury
Lawrence Method
Fill the provided Shoulder AP Projection variations with their respective structures to be shown
External =
Neutral =
Internal =
External = HUMERAL HEAD
Neutral = GREATER TUBERCLE
Internal = LESSER TUBERCLE
Which Lawrence Method POSITION is much easier for trauma patients as it also facilitates accurate adjustment of the shoulder
Upright
RP for Lawrence Method
Midcoronal Plane
If the patient cannot elevate the unaffected shoulder for Lawrence method, angle the central ray _______
10 - 15 Degrees Cephalad
Enumerate the four (4) variations for Inferosuperior Axial Projection of the Shoulder Joint:
- Lawrence Method
- Rafert Modification
- West-point Method
- Clements Modification
Which two structures can be seen laterally with the Lawrence method ?
- Shoulder
- Proximal Humerus
The patient is in supine position with the head turned away and the humerus in external rotation
Lawrence Method
CR and RP for Lawrence Method - Shoulder Joint
CR = 15 and 30 Degrees Medially
RP = Axilla to the Region of the Acromioclavicular Articulation
Used to locate Hill-Sachs defect through applying exaggerated external rotation of the arm
Rafert Modification
A pronated inferosuperior axial projection method for the shoulder joint wherein the affected arm is abducted 90 degrees.
West-point Method
CR and RP for West-point Method
CR = 25 Degrees Anteriorly and 25 Degrees Medially
RP = 5 Inches Inferior and 1.5 Inches Medial to the Acromial Edge and Exiting the Glenoid Cavity
CR for AP Axial Projection of Shoulder Joint
35 Degrees Cephalad
