| trauma axiolateral coyle method - radial head positioning | elbow flexed 90 degrees hand pronated CR: mid-elbow 45 degree angle to shoulder |
| coyle method - coronoid positioning | elbow flexed 80 degrees hand pronated CR: mid elbow 45 degree angle away from the shoulder |
| AP humerus positioning | CR: mid humerus epicondyles parallel to IR |
| Lateral humerus positioning | CR: mid humerus epicondyles perpendicular to the IR should include both joints |
| neutral humerus position | CR: mid humerus directed perp to IR trauma view- palm usually on outside of femur |
| transthoracic humerus positioning | aka lawrence side of interest closest to IR unaffected arm out of way on head CR: mid diaphysis directed through thorax/surgical neck orthostatic breathing technique CR can be angled 10-15 cephalic if you can't raise the arm |
| AP external shoulder positioning | external: epicondlyes are parallel to IR 1 inch inferior to coracoid process suspend respiration |
| what does the external shoulder demonstrate | greater tubercle in profile on the lateral aspect |
| AP internal shoulder positioning | epicondyles are perpendicular to the IR 1 inch inferior to coracoid process |
| Lawrence shoulder method positioning | supine shoulder raised 2 inches from table CR: medial 25-30 degrees |
| grashey shoulder pos | rotate 35-45 toward affected side CR: glenoid cavity 2 inches medial and 3 inches inferior to the lateral border of the shoulder |
| AP neutral trauma shoulder pos | CR: perpendicular to coracoid process demonstrates the greater tubercle rotated anteriorly but still lateral to lesser tubercle |
| PA oblique scap Y pos | 45 - 60 rotation toward affected side arm on stomach CR: perp to mid scapula |
| NEER pos | 45-60 anterior oblique CR: angle 10-15 caudal through the superior margin of the humeral head |
| neer demonstrates | dislocation and fx of proximal humerus and scap |
| AP scapula pos | pt is supine arm abducted to form a right angle with the chest CR: perpendicular to IR 2 inches inferior to coracoid |
| lateral scapula pos- anterior | 45-60 rotation toward the affected side CR: perpendicular to middle of vertebral border of the scapula |
| posterior oblique lateral scapula pos | rotate away from the affected side CR: middle of vertebral border of the scapula |
| what are the three borders of the scapula | vertebral, lateral, superior |
| what is the thickest border of the scapula | lateral |
| AP / PA clavicle | mid clavicle |
| why do a PA clavicle | limit dose and reduce OID |
| AP axial clavicle | mid clavicle 15-30 cephalic for AP 15-30 caudal or PA |
| the larger the pt the _ the angle for a clavicle | less |
