trauma elbow Flashcards
when performing the trauma oblique elbow series the CR should be angled _ degrees?
45
the CR should remain ___ to the humerus when performing the AP partial flexion (humerus in contact with the IR) elbow on a patient with adequate extension.
perpendicular
the cubital notch study will demonstrate the potential presence of tennis elbow, the medical term for this condition is?
radiohumeral bursitis
the coyle method to demonstrate the coronoid process requires __ degrees of flexion of the elbow?
80
the positions of the hand for the radial head sees that will show the radial tuberosity anteriorly are _______ & __________.
Supination & lateral with thumb up
Explain the position of the CR when performing an AP partial flexion with the forearm in contact with the IR and hyper flexion of the elbow.
perpendicular to the elbow joint proximally or toward the humerus
for the AP acute flexion Jones method for the distal humerus the CR should?
remain perpendicular to the humerus
The AP acute flexion Jones method for the distal humerus will demonstrate what posterior structure?
Oleceranon Process
When the Coyle method is performed to demonstrate the radial head the arm should be flexed _____ degrees.
90
Explain why the four view radial head series is performed
to demonstrate the entire circumference of the radial head free of superimposition.
The CR should be angled 45 degrees ______ to the shoulder to demonstrate the radial head when performing the foyle method.
Cephalic
When should the Coyle method should be performed?
to obtain images of the radial head and coroniod process on patients who cannot fully extend the elbow for medial and lateral oblique projections. especial useful for trauma elbows.
When performing the PA projection acute flexion Jones Method for the proximal forearm, the CR will be ____?
perpendicular to the forearm.
when the lateral oblique elbow is performed, what is demonstrated?
radial head and neck free of superimposition.
The _____ will require acute flexion of the elbow?
Jones method
The AP elbow position will have the hand in the ____ position?
supinated
The AP projection with lateral rotation elbow will demonstrate ?
the radial head without superimposition
The AP projection with medial rotation will demonstrate the _________ in profile?
coronoid process
A line through the humeral epicondyles will be __ to the IR for an AP elbow?
parallel
list the four positions used to perform a radial head series.
lateral elbow with hand in supination, lateral hand with hand in pronation, lateral elbow with hand in extreme internal rotation, lateral elbow with hand in lateral position
the ____ will demonstrate the elbow in the AP projection if the patient is unable to exited their injured arm?
Partial flexion postions
The CR should remain should remain ___ to the humerus when performing the AP partial flexion ( humerus in contact with the IR) elbow on a patient with adequate extension.
Perpendicular
the cubital notch will demonstrate the potential presence of tennis elbow; the medial term for this condition is?
radiohumeral burstits
Coronoid process = __ degrees
80
