Data Trace Editor – See: – Pillar View – Discussion: – this view demonstrates C3 thru C7 vertebral bodies, spinous processes and lateral masses; – Evaluates: – lateral mass fractures – sagittal plane frxs (also called vertical compression frx) may be visualized on the anteroposterior view; – this view … Read more
– See: Discussion of AP View
See also: X-rays for THR X-rays for Femoral Neck Fractures Discussion this view should demonstrate the iliac bone, sacrum, pubis, ischium, femoral heads and necks, and greater or lesser trochanters; arcuate, iliopubic, ilioischial, and acetabular teardrop lines, sacral foramina, & SI joint should be scrutinized carefully and identified in a systematic manner; patient is supine with the … Read more
– See: – PA View – Radial Inclination – Discussion: – AP has the dorsum of the hand touching the film, with the x-ray beam passing palmar to dorsal, whereas in a PA film, the palmar surface lies flat on the film and the x-ray beam passes from the dorsal to palmar surface; – palmar … Read more
– Discussion: – anterior SI ligaments are stretched; – radiographs show slight (< 2 cm) widening of the pubic symphysis and often imperceptable widening of the SI joint; – results from low energy forces Surgeon Variability in the Treatment of Pelvic Ring Injuries Stress radiograph to detect true extent of … Read more
Indications allows unobstructed view of articular surface of acetabulum; Technique proximal bolt is inserted in the iliac wing in its superior portion, just distal to thickened crest; proximal bolt must pass through portion of ilium in continuity w/ sacrum (or frx proximal to this point must be stabilized) prior to application of a distraction force; distal bolt … Read more
– A: Extra-articular (Transverse) – B: Unicondylar fracture – subdivided into lateral condyle sagittal, and medial condyle saggital and coronal; – deforming forces: gastrocnemius – of special importance is B III (Coronal or Hoffa fracture), where only soft tissue attachment is the posterior capsule, that behaves … Read more
– Discussion: – usually involves a supination-adduction injury; – frequently does well w/ closed reduction; – if frx in fibula is transverse, it is type I avulsion fibular frx; – since syndesmotic ligaments are intact, ankle mortise is also stable; – type A: fibula fracture … Read more
– See: IHSS – Etiology: Congenital, Rheumatic Hrt, or Bicuspid valve (pts > 60 yrs); * Classic symptoms: – Angina : – Syncope : – CHF (poor prognosis & high mortality)
– Discussion: – is taken in line with the long axis of the foot; – entire fibula should be included if there is lateral joint tenderness above the joint line; – this view is used to evaluate medial & lateral malleolus anterolateral tibia and proximal fibula; – osteochondral frx of distal tibia and talus; … Read more
