Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is a modified Cleaves method pelvis? | AP oblique, bilateral frog. |
Position of limb for AP hip | medially rotate limb 15-20 degrees unless contraindicated |
CR entry for AP hip | perpendicular to the femoral neck ( 2.5” distal to PS/ASIS line) |
Launstein method lateral hip CR entry | perpendicular to hip joint ( midway between PS and ASIS) |
Hickey method lateral hip CR entry | 20-25 degrees cephalad to hip joint |
Cross-table hip alternate names | axiolateral or Danelius-Miller method |
IR orientation and position for X-table hip | IR parallel to the femoral neck with the upper border in the crease above the iliac crest |
CR entry point for X-table hip | perpendicular to the long axis of the femoral neck |
TOF for proximal femur | at the level of the ASIS |
How is the limb positioned for an AP proximal femur? | medially rotate 10-15 degrees |
How is the limb positioned for an AP distal femur? | medially rotate until epicondyles are parallel to the IR |
BOF for distal femur | 2” below the knee joint |
Pt. position for lateral distal femur | pt lays on affected side, bring other leg foreward, adjust pelvis TLP, flex affected knee 45 degrees, epicondyles perpendicular to IR. |
Pt. position lateral proximal femur | keeping pt. on affected side, bring other leg posteriorly rolling the pelvis back 10-15 degrees. |
Eval criteria AP femur | majority of femur and joint closest to site of concern, femoral neck not foreshortened, sm ammt. Lesser trochanter seen medially, no rotation at knee, entire orthopedic. |
Eval criteria lat. Femur | majority of femur and joint closest to site of concern, superimposed ant. Femoral condyles, patella in profile, open patellofemoral joint, trochanters not prominent |
x-table hip eval | femoral neck without overlap of greater trochanter, sm ammt lesser trochanter seen posteriorly, greater trochanter seen on anterior and posterior, hip joint and acetabulum, ischial tuberosity below femoral head |
