Shoulder Clavicle...
Position:Shoulder, Clavicle, AC Joints, Scapula
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Shoulder Girdle Articulations | 1.Scapulohumeral/Glenohumeral 2.Acromioclavicular "AC" 3.Sternoclavicular "SC" |
Shoulder Routine | 1.AP with lateral rotation 2.AP with external rotation 3.Inferosuperior Axial "Lawrence Method" |
Trauma Shoulder Routine | 1 AP (neutral rotation) 2.Scapular Y Method 3.Transthoracic Method "Lawrence Method" |
Optional Shoulder Views | 1.West Point Method 2.Grashey Method 3.Neer Method |
Shoulder exams will always use: | 10"x12" film---cw SID 40" |
AP with External Rotation (Shoulder) | Position:external rotation Projection:anteroposterior CR:1" inferior coracoid process |
AP with External Rotation (Shoulder) image | *Greater tubercle in profile on the lateral aspect, this will determine if the humeral epicondyles were parallel *Entire clavicle is shown |
AP Neutral Rotation (Shoulder) | Position:Neutral rotation Projection:Anteroposterior CR:1" inferior to coracoid process |
AP Neutral Rotation (Shoulder) image | *Greater and Lesser tubercle will be superimposed on the humeral head *Entire clavicle is shown |
AP with Internal Rotation (Shoulder) | Position:Internal rotation Projection:Anteroposterior CR:1" inferior to coracoid process |
AP with Internal Rotation (Shoulder) image | *Lesser tubercle in profile on the medial aspect, this will determine if the humeral epicondyles were perpendicular *Entire clavicle is shown |
Inferosuperior Axial (Shoulder) | Position:Lawrence Method Projection:Inferosuperior Axial CR:Horizontal through the axilla |
Inferosuperior Axial (Shoulder) image | *Open the Scapuloumeral Joint space *Lesser tubercle *Anterior anatomy will be superior |
Superoinferior Axial (Shoulder) | Position:Seated with arm abducted, hand pronated Projection:Superoinferior Axial CR:5-15 toward elbow Location: at the shoulder joint |
Scapular Y Method | Position:Scapular Y Method Projection:PA Oblique CR:Scapulohumeral Joint |
Scapular Y Method vs. Transthoracic Lateral Shoulder | Scapular Y Method is for dislocation Transthoracic Lateral is for fractures |
Over vs. Under Rotation for Scapular Y Method | Over rotated: lateral(thicker) border is beside the ribs Under rotated: medial(thinner) border is beside the ribs |
Scapular Y Method (Trauma) | Position:RPO or LPO Projection:AP Oblique CR:Scapulohumeral Joint |
West Point Method | Position:West Point Method Projection:Inferosuperior Axial CR:Enters 5" inferior & 1 1/2" medial acromion, exits glenoid cavity *Dual tube CR angle 25 degrees both medial & anterior |
West Point Image | *Best show scapulohumeral rim *Patients with chronic dislocation |
Grashey Method | Position:Grashey Method Projection:AP Oblique CR:Glenoid Cavity (2" medial & 2" inferior to superolateral border |
Grashey Method Image | *Done to show the glenohumeral joint space **Shows glenoid cavity in profile |
Neer Method | Position:Neer Method Projection:Tangential CR:10-15 caudal, enters superior humeral head |
Neer Method Image | *Shows posterior surface of acromion *Humeral head is below AC joint **Supraspinatus outlet |
AP Clavicle | Position:Erect Posterior/Supine Projection:Anteroposterior CR:Mid shaft of clavicle |
AP and PA Clavicle Images | *Shows entire clavicle AC to SC joint *Medial half is superimposed **Lateral half is above scapula |
PA Clavicle | Position:Erect Anterior/Supine Projection:Posteroanterior CR:Exiting mid shaft clavicle |
Which is preferred AP or PA for clavicles? | Because the PA decreases the OID which increases the detail. |
AP Axial Clavicle | Position:Erect/Posterior/Supine Projection:Anteroposterior Axial CR:Erect/Supine:15-30 cephalic//Lordotic:0-15 cephalic//both at the mid shaft |
PA Axial Clavicle | Position:Erect Anterior/Supine Projection:Posteroanterior Axial CR:15-30 caudal, Exiting mid shaft |
AP and PA Axial Clavicle Images | *Clavicle is above the ribs *Horizontal *Medial end is overlap on the ribs |
Acromioclavicular Joint Series | Position:Erect Posterior Projection:Anteroposterior CR:MSP at level of AC joints *Two exposures--one with weights, one without |
Scapula Routine | 1.Anteroposterior 2.Lateral |
AP Scapula | Position:Supine/erect Posterior Projection:Anteroposterior CR:2" inferior coracoid |
AP Scapula Image | *Lateral portion free *Acromion process to inferior angle |
Lateral Scapula | Position:Lateral Projection:Mediolateral CR:Mid medial border of scapula *Arm across anterior of body |
Lateral Scapula Image | *Lateral & medial border superimposed *Scapula away from ribs *Humerus away from scapula |
Anatomy: Shoulder--surfaces | Anterior: subscapular fossa, coracoid process ***Posterior: crest of spine, acromion process, supraspinous and infraspinous fossa |
Anatomy: Shoulder--borders | (3 borders) superior border with scapular notch **medial border (thinner) **lateral border (thicker) |
Anatomy: Shoulder--angles | superior, inferior, lateral |
Anatomy: Clavicle | sternal extremity, body, acromial extremity |
