Upper Limb

Question 1

it is the lateral bone in forearm

Answer 1

radius

Question 2

it is the medial bone in forearm

Answer 2

ulna

Question 3

carpal bones are:

Answer 3

scaphoid
lunate
triquetral
pisiform
trapezium
trapezoid
capitate
hamate

Question 4

it is a long bone that has a body and two ends

Answer 4

humerus

Question 5

upper proximal end of humerus

Answer 5

head of humerus

Question 6

it is made up between radius and two carpal bones

Answer 6

wrist joint

Question 7

hand in position of extreme internal rotation with the thumb on the IR with its long axis center to the long axis of the IR

Answer 7

anteroposterior

Question 8

hand in lateral position with the elevated thumb resting on a radiographic support, with MCP center to the IR

Answer 8

posteroanterior

Question 9

hand in natural arched position with palmar surface down and flexed fingers resting on a sponge

Answer 9

lateral

Question 10

with the thumb abducted, place the palmar surface of the hand in contact with IR

Answer 10

PA oblique

Question 11

hand pronated with palm resting on the IR, adjust the oblinquity of the hand to place the MCP at 45 degree angle using a foam wedge to support the extended digits to demonstrate interphalangeal joints

Answer 11

PA oblique - lateral rotation

Question 12

a modification that eliminates superimposition of all except the proximal phalanges

Answer 12

fan lateral

Question 13

produces a lateral image of the body structures and soft tissues of the hand in their normally flexed position

it also demonstrates anterior or posterior displacement in fractures of the metacarpals

Answer 13

lateral in flexion - lateromedial

Question 14

shows an AP 45 degree oblique projection of both hands

Answer 14

AP oblique projection - norgaard method - medial rotation

Question 15

shows a lateral projection of the proximal metacarpals, carpals and distal radius and ulna

demonstrates anterior or posterior displacement in fractures

Answer 15

lateral projection - lateromedial

Question 16

demonstrates the carpals on the lateral side of the wrist, particularly the trapezium and scaphoid

Answer 16

PA oblique projection - lateral rotation

Question 17

corrects foreshortening of the scaphoid which occurs in perpendicular central ray

Answer 17

PA projection - ulnar deviation

Question 18

it opens interspaces between the carpals on the medial side

Answer 18

PA projection - radial deviation

Question 19

this method uses a four image multiple angle central ray series performed after aa routine wrist radiographs do not identify a fracture

Answer 19

scaphoid series - rafert long method

Question 20

used to identify fractures of the hook of hamate, pisiform and trapezium common to athletes

Answer 20

tangential projections gaynor - hart method

Question 21

an ___ projection of the forearm demonstrates the elbow joint, radius, ulna and the proximal row of slightly distorted carpal bones

Answer 21

anteroposterior

Question 22

the ____ projection demonstrates the bones of the forearm, the elbow joint and the proximal row of carpal bones

Answer 22

lateral

Question 23

superimpose bones of the forearm and arm and olecranon process

Answer 23

distal humerus - AP projection acute flexion

Question 24

outlined superimposed arm and forearm, elbow joint more open than of the distal humerus

Answer 24

proximal forearm - PA projection acute flexion
