This is an example of what?
Knee effusion=best seen on a lateral view superior to the patella and anterior to the femur
Widening of the symphysis pubis > 1 cm is abnormal. This is called?
Diastasis of the SP.
For pelvic trauma, although –___ view is usually sufficient,CT Scan is a second line study.
AP
Pelvic hematomas and possible urethral and bladder injuries are commonly caused by ?

Jo Gibtry, a female patient comes in complaining of knee pain with motion, limited ROM, redness, swelling and a visible deformity on her knee. What is a probable diagnosis?
OSTEOarthritis
In a patient with Osteoarthritis, what can happen to the cartilage?
-Cartilage may become calcified and break off resulting in loose bodies in the joint
What is going on in the picture below?
Widened Symphysis Pubis
What disease is characterized by benign lesions of the pelvis, accompanied by
increased sclerosis?
Pagets Disease
This is an example of what?
Chondrocalcinosis
What are some examples of knee fractures?
-Knee fractures include patella fractures,
fractures of the tibia,
fibula, and femur
There is a normal variant that may appear to be a fracture in the knee. What is it?
Bipartite patella
Tibial plateau fractures can be difficult to see–what view is BEST to see them?
AP view
What is the name of a common malignant tumor found in childrens pelvis? What about an adults pelvis?
■Child – Ewing’s sarcoma
■Adult – chondrosarcomas
Something is jacked up in this photo. What is it?
Patellar Fracture
Identify the fracture in the picture.
Tibial plateau fracture
Label the parts of the pelvis.
Good job!
What is the most common hip dislocation?
Posterior dislocation
In a posterior hip dislocation the hip is displaced, _______ and ______on film.
A. superiorly; medially
B. superiorly; laterally
C. infeiorly; laterally
B. Superiorly and Laterally - Posterior location
(remember: Anterior = inferior and medial = AIM. posterior is the opposite)
What type of fracture is this?
Supracondylar fracture of femur
What is jacked up in this photo?
the knee is dislocated
Dislocated patella is almost always on what side?
to the lateral side.
What view is best to view a dislocated patella?
Sunrise view is best.
Giant cell tumor is a ______ tumor that commonly occurs in the knee, often in the _____ tibia.
- benign tumor
- Proximal tibia
When taking a plain film of the Tibia and Fibula–what views should be taken and what needs to be included (anatomically)?
- AP view and a lateral view
- Films should include the entire length from the tibial plateau to the ankle
In an anterior hip dislocation the hip is displaced, _______ and ______on film.
A. inferiorly; medially
B. superiorly; laterally
C. infeiorly; laterally
A. Inferiorly; medially
(remember : A.I.M)
What type of fractures are common in the tibia?
a. Comminuted
b. Open
c. spiral
d. greenstick
C. Spiral fractures are common to the tibia – often has an associated fibula fracture
What are the two most common hip fractures?
- Fx’s of the intertrochanteric region (45%)
