QuestionAnswer
Greater trochanter is on the same plane as the...? Synthesis pubis
pubis forms what? the inferior AND interior aspect of pelvic girdle
What bones are fused to form the acetabulum? ilium, pubis, ischium
female pelvis vs. male pelvis female - pubic arch is an obtuse angle (greater than 90 degrees) male - pubic arch is an acute angle (less than 90 degrees)
if the angle is between 19-24 cm, what degree angle is it? 0 degrees
femur - longest and strongest bone - patella 1/2" above joint - 5-7 degree angle between distal medial and lateral condyles
hip bones are innominate bones because...? they're fused together during development
hip bones can also be referred to as ossa coxae
blow the hip, the bones... naturally align straight forward in anatomic position
if the toes are straight, the hip is ______________ if the toes are turned in, the hip is _____________ wrong, right
the femoral neck naturally angles... forward and inward
if the patient is anatomic position, the hip is ____________, the femoral neck is ______________, that means it's _________________. still rotated, foreshortened, not a true AP hip
Modified Cleaves method - AP bilateral Frog-Leg Pelvis - abduct thighs approximately 45 degrees from the vertical plane to place the long axes of the femoral necks parallel with the plane of the IR
Taylor Method angled 40 degrees caudad
Judet Method - AP Oblique acetabulum - uses two 45 degree posterior oblique positions for diagnosing fractures of the acetabulum
(re: Jude Method AP oblique acetabulum), affected side elevated demonstrates _________________, affected side down demonstrates _____________________. posterior rim and anterior column, anterior rim and posterior column
PA Axial oblique acetabulum - 12 degree caudad angle, evaluation of acetabular rim fractures
AP unilateral hip evaluation of hip joint
Danelius-Miller Method, Inferosuperior Axiolateral unaffected leg flexed and elevated to clear anatomy
unilateral modified cleaves method affected knee flexed, thigh abducted
clements-nakayama method CR directed to femoral neck at 30-40 degrees mediolateral and 15-20 posteriorly from horizontal
In an AP pelvis, should the lesser trochanters be visualized? No.
What lateral hip projection cannot be perofrmed on a trauma patient with a lateral hip fracture? modified cleaves method
on a properly positioned AP hip radiograph, the nexk of the femur should be _____________ to the IR, as evidenced by the ______________ visualized in profile parallel, greater trochanter
in order to place the femoral neck in profile for an AP hip radiograph, the patient should be positioned with their leg internally rotated 15-20 degrees
The AP axial projection (frog leg) of the femoral neck places the patient in a supine position with the affected thigh abducted 40 degrees from horizontal
AP weight-bearing knees (bilateral) evaluation of joint space narrowing, assessment of osteoarthritis and weight bearing alignment
Rosenburg method - PA Axial weight-bearing knees (bilateral) knees flexed 45 degrees, 10 caudad angle centered at knee joints, beam enters posteriorly - best demonstrates interconylar fossa - sensitive for early degenerative joint disease - shows joint space narrowing under physiologic load
Camp coventry (PA axial knee-intercondylar fossa) - intercondylar fossa - tibial spines -posterior aspects of femoral condyles
