Question | Answer |
---|---|
Spine Films/ Frontal: Vert body: Dec head height: in = | Burst fx |
Spine Films/ Frontal: Vert body: Open beak, or inc distance btw 2 beaks: in = | Chance fx or spinous process fx |
Spine Films: Oblique: each vert = Scotty Dog: look for: | a collar |
Spine Films: Oblique: Scotty Dog: front & hind legs = | inf intervertebral articular processes |
Spine Films: Oblique: Scotty Dog: Ears & tail = | superior intervertebral articular processes |
Spine Films: Oblique: Scotty Dog: Dog body = | the lamina |
Spine Films: Oblique: Scotty Dog: dogs eye = | a pedicle |
Spine Films: Oblique: Scotty Dog: nose = | a transverse process |
Spine Films: Oblique: Scotty Dog: Neck = | the pars interarticularis |
Spine Films: Oblique: Scotty Dog: If the tail is to your right, you are looking at: | right lamina (& vice versa for left) |
Spine Film: Lateral View: Vert alignment: displacement seen in: | fx & listhesis |
Spine Film: Lateral View: decreased intervert disc space in: | fx, DDD, & HNP |
Spine Film: Lateral View: Cf ant & post vert body cortex for: | changes in ht cf to the others (Burst or wedge fx) |
Spine Film: Lateral View: fx lines in spinous processes = | black (lucent) fx lines |
Spine films: stable fxs = | Wedge fx; spinous process fx |
Spine films: unstable fxs = | Burst fx; Chance fx |
Chance fx: Unstable: best seen on what film? | lateral |
Spinous Process fx: Stable: lateral view shows: | Lucency thru spinous process |
Pelvic Films: Pelvic ring fx is commonly: | disrupted in 2 places |
Pelvic Films: AP view: Inspect: | inner & outer main ring cortices; 2 small obturator rings; acetabulum for step off; SI joint spaces s/b equal; symph pubis should align, < 5mm joint space |
Pelvic Films: CT if: | fx identified or suspected |
Hip Films: Order: | AP pelvis w/ both hip joints; lateral of affected hip |
Hip Films: Femoral Neck | Smooth cortex w/ no buckle, step or ridge; Normal trabecular pattern; No transverse sclerotic lines |
Hip Films: Intertrochanteric Region | Cf to other hip; no lucency across the bone; no cortical defect |
Hip Osteoarthritis: X-ray | Decreased Joint space; Sclerosis; Osteophytes |
Legg-Calve-Perthes Dz: X-ray shows: | Mottled femoral head |
Transient Hip Synovitis: X-ray shows: | Capsular swelling |
OA: xray findings | asymmetric narrowing; loss of joint space; subchondral sclerosis & cysts; marginal osteophytes |
OA: early chondral erosions can be visualized on: | on arthroscopy (not visible on xray) |
Prosthetic joint infection: xray usually shows: | increased lucency around prosthesis |
RA Imaging: must: | ID changes early (avoid irreversible joint damage); sig amt genl skeletal bone lost early in dz |
RA Imaging: early findings: | soft tissue swelling, peri-articular osteopenia, marginal erosions |
RA Imaging: late findings: | diffuse osteopenia, joint space narrowing, deformities |
RA: Plain films show joint damage after: | 2 years of dz duration in 70% of cases |
Pencil-in-cup deformity of proximal phalanx on xray | psoriatic arthritis |
Le Fort I: | Floating palate, fx maxillary sinus |
Le Fort II: | Pyramidal fx, medial orbital and lateral maxilla |
Le Fort III: | Craniofacial disjunction, horizontal orbits |
Spine x-ray: 5 lines | prevertebral ST: s/b thin ; Ant & post vert lines: s/b aligned vertly; Spinolaminar line: join spinous process & lamina: sd be aligned vert; check facet joints |
Spondylolisthesis: look also for: | facet fx |
Plain Films: Consider: | Consider joint above & below injury |
CT scan: | Defines bony anatomy |
Nuclear medicine studies: | Help define tumors, etc |
EMG: | Evaluates denervation of muscle units |
NCS: | Evaluate conduction velocities |
