| how many phalanges in each hand? | 14 |
| how many carpal bones in each wrist? | 8 |
| proximal row of carpal bones starting at the lateral (thumb) side | scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform |
| distal row of carpal bones starting at the lateral (thumb )side | trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate |
| largest carpal bone | capitate |
| most frequently fractured carpal bone | scaphoid |
| bones of the forearm | radius and ulna |
| which forearm bone is the lateral | radius |
| which forearm bone is medial | ulna |
| which forearm bone is longer | ulna |
| radial head articulates with | capitulum of humerus |
| how many views of the forearm are there? | 2 PA and lateral |
| radiographic views of the hand | PA, oblique, lateral |
| when the hand is in the PA position, what position is the thumb in? | oblique |
| when the hand is in the lateral position, what position is the thumb in? | PA |
| what is the purpose of the oblique hand radiograph | visualize interphalangeal joints |
| what is the purpose of the ulnar deviation view of the wrist | visualization of the scaphoid |
| what are we looking for in a lateral wrist view? | displacement of the carpal bones |
| what is visualized in the external rotation of the elbow? | the radial head |
| when the arm is extended and the epicondyles are parallel to the film, and the CR is in the center of the antecubital fossa which radiographic view is this? | AP elbow |
| what is being visualized in the internal oblique view of the elbow | coronoid process |
| when is it appropriate to do the trans-thoracic Lawrence method of the shoulder? | trauma, when the patient cannot move their arm |
