For a Lawrence method shoulder, the lesser tubercle should be seen ________ (anteriorly/posteriorly) on a radiograph. anteriorly
The Lawrence method is a good exam for what kind of injury? Dislocation
For a Grashey method, the patient should be rotated ________ degrees __________ (toward/away) from/to affected side. 45 degrees toward affected side
The Grashey method is used to visualize what? The opened glenohumeral joint space
How many borders does the scapula have? 3
The __________ (vertebral/lateral) border is the thickest border of the scapula. lateral
For a Y-view shoulder, you notice the lateral border of the scapula is lateral to the vertebral border. Which positioning error occurred? The patient was not obliqued enough.
For a Y-view shoulder, you notice the lateral border of the scapula is medial to the vertebral border. Which positioning error occurred? The patient was obliqued too much.

For AC joints with weights, the weights should be held by the patient's __________. wrists
T/F: AC joint exams often involve with and without weight images. True
For an AP scapula, you should _________ (adduct/abduct) the patient's arm so the back of the hand is against the patients forehead. abduct (this pulls the scapula out laterally away from the thorax)
For an AP Y-view scapula, you notice the patient's lateral border of the scapula is lateral to the vertebral border, what likely occurred? The patient was not obliqued enough.
For an AP Y-view scapula, you notice the patient's lateral border of the scapula is medial to the vertebral border, what likely occurred? The patient was obliqued too much.
T/F: An AP toe should have equal concavity and soft tissue width. True
For an AP toe, you notice that the joint spaces are closed, what likely occurred? You did not use a 10-15 degree cephalic angle, the toes were not fully extended, or you weren't centered to the MTP joint.
For an AP Foot, a ______ angle should be used. 10 degree cephalic
The CR should be centered to the ______ for an AP Foot. base of the 3rd metatarsal
For an AP Foot, you should see equal space between the _________ metatarsals. 2-5
A fx to the base of the 5th metatarsal is known as a ___________ fx. Jones
For a medial oblique foot, the _____________ should be open and visualized. tarsal sinus
For a lateral foot, the foot should be ______________ (plantarflexed/dorsaflexed). dorsaflexed
For an axial calcaneus view, the ___________________ joint should be open and visualized. talocalcaneal
A radiograph of an axial calcaneus shows the 1st and 2nd metatarsals are medially demonstrated, what occurred? The patient's leg was internally rotated
A radiograph of an axial calcaneus shows the 4th and 5th metatarsals are laterally demonstrated, what occurred? The patients leg was externally rotated
For an AP ankle, the ____________ (medial/lateral) mortise should be open. medial
For an AP ankle, the tibia should superimpose ______ of the distal fibula. 1/2
An AP ankle radiograph shows that the tibia is superimposing more than 1/2 of the fibula, what occurred? The patient's leg was externally rotated.
An AP ankle radiograph shows that the tibia is superimposing less than 1/2 of the fibula, what occurred? The patient's leg was internally rotated.
A true AP oblique ankle should be rotated _________ degrees. 45
An AP mortise ankle should be rotated _________ degrees. 15-20
On an AP mortise ankle, both the __________ should be open. medial and lateral mortises
For an AP lower leg, the tibia should superimpose ___________ of the fibular head proximally, and _________ of the distal fibula. 1/4, 1/2
On an AP lower leg radiograph you notice the fibula head is hidden behind the tibia, what occurred? The patient's leg was externally rotated.
On an AP lower leg radiograph you notice there is less of the fibula head that is superimposed by the tibia, what occurred? The patient's leg was internally rotated.
On an AP knee radiograph, you notice you can see more of the fibular head, what occurred? The patient's knee was internally rotated.
On an AP knee radiograph, you notice you can see the fibular head is superimposed into the tibia, what occurred? The patient's knee was externally rotated.
For a tunnel view of the knee, the Camp Coventry requires a _____________ degree knee flexion. 40-50 degree. Remember - all of the 40-50 year old parents are taking their kids to swim camp.
For a tunnel view of the knee, the Homblad requires a _____________ degree knee flexion. 60-70 degree. Remember - at home you like to set the thermostat between 60-70 degrees.
For all tunnel views of the knee, the CR should be _________ to the angle of the tibia. perpendicular
