Rad Pro Ch 5 Part 2 PP

forearm consists of

two long bones

radius + ulna

ulna is on the ____ side

medial

radius is on the _____ side

lateral

mnemonic CRazy TUlips

capitululm - radial

trochlea - ulnar

ulnar anatomy what are the processes

olecranon process

coronoid process

styloid process

olecranon process is

prox and posterior

coronoid process is

prox and anterior

styloid process is

distal

radial anatomy

head and tuberosity

radial head is

prox

radial tuberosity is

prox

humerus is the

long bone in the upper arm

head of humerus articulates with

scapula to form shoulder joint

distal end of humerus forms

part of elbow joint

what is the most common site for shoulder fractures

surgical neck of humerus

proximal anatomy of humerus

head

anatomic neck

surgical neck

greater tubercle

lesser tubercle

intertubercular groove- biciptal groove

distal anatomy of humerus

medial epicondyle

lateral epicondyle

trochlea

capitulum

coronoid fossa

olecranon fossa - posterior

elbow joint is made of

proximal radiolunar joint

humeroulnar joint

humeroradial joint

the three elbow joints are enclosed in a

common capsule

sail sign shows the

fat pads

the lateral bone of the forearm is the

radius

which portion of the humerus articulates with radial head?

capitulum

pt prep

pts need to remove all jewelry watches rings bracelets

humerus- remove bra

ambulatory patients

seated at x ray table

non ambulatory patients

alter- may be in wheelchair on cart

typically humerus radiographs are taken

standing up

some facilities allow the collimated field

to be diagonally on IR - long bones

SID

40 in

markers for upper extremity exams

right or left

radiation protection upper extremity

lead apron, lead rubber over gonads

- not common use close collimation

pt instructions forearm elbow humerus

explain + demonstrate

tell pt to hold still and stop breathing

elbow extended

hand supinated

same plane

humeral epicondyles equal distance from IR

long axis of forearm parallel

AP forearm CR

perpendicular IR

midpoint of forearm

lateral forearm

same plane

90 degree elbow

ulna radius superimposed

long axis aligned parallel IR

lateral forearm lateromedial or mediolateral

lateromedial

lateral forearm

how to demonstrate distal humerus

partial flexion

elbow AP

how to demonstrate prox forearm?

partial flexion

axiolateral elbow is the ____ method

coyle

elbow collimated field size

3 inch prox and dist to elbow joint

1 inch of sides

AP elbow

part position

same plane

posterior surface in contact with IR

elbow extended

hand supinated

elbow centered to middle unmasked portion

humeral epicondyles parallel with IR

AP elbow

CR

perpendicular to elbow joint

lateral elbow

part position

same plane limb is parallel to IR

90 degree elbow flexd

forearm rest ulnar surface

wrist in TRUE lateral

lateral elbow CR

perpendicular to elbow joint

oblique views of the elbow

medial and lateral oblique

elbow lateral oblique demonstrates

radial head, neck, tuberosity free of superimposition of ulna

elbow lateral

medial oblique demonstrates

coronoid process projected free of superimposition

AP oblique elbow medial rotation position

part position

elbow centered IR

pronate hand MEDIALLY / INTERNALLY rotate elbow to place anterior 45 degrees from IR

AP oblique elbow medial rotation position

CR

perpendicular to elbow joint

medial oblique elbow SLIDE 80
