| Seen on oblique view, a defect in the pars interarticularis puts a collar on the scotty dog. | spondylolysis |
| MVA injury where the lap belt immobilizes pelvis and the thorax is forcefully flexed forward. seen on AP as a crack throught the owl's eyes (pedicles), or an open beak (cracked spinous process) | Chance fracture |
| Collapse of anterior vertebral body with intact posterior wall from hyperflexion or osteoporosis | wedge fracture |
| vertebral slipping | spondylolisthesis |
| lateral curvature of the spine | scoliosis |
| classification system used for grading hip fractures | Garden type |
| 90% of hip fractures are in this direction | posterior |
| Occurs at the origin og the sartorius, and is caused by knee flexion and hip hyper-extension. | ASIS avulsion fracture |
| Occurs at the origin of the hamstring, and is caused by vigorous hip flexion with knee extension. | Ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture |
| Occurs in obese adolescent boys. Will cause a limp and hip, thigh or knee pain, loss of IR, flexion and abduction | Slipped capital femoral epiphysis |

| indications for getting imaging after ankle injury | Ottawa rules |
| 85% of all ankle sprains are in this direction, and are from a plantar flexion inversion injury. | Lateral |
| Fracture of proximal 5th metatarsal, from an inversion injury | Jones fracture |
| most common fracture of the ankle | distal fibula fracture |
| Usually seen in deconditioned athletes, and is caused by quick plantar flexion | Achilles injury |
