Question 1

Proximal Humerus

Answer 1

Largest & longest bone of the upper body. Articulates with scapula to make up shoulder joint.

Question 2

Head of humerus

Answer 2

Most proximal part of humerus

Question 3

Anatomic neck

Answer 3

Directly below & lateral to the head. Adjoins greater & lesser tubercles

Question 4

Lesser tubercle

Answer 4

Located on the anterior surface directly below the neck

Question 5

Greater tubercle

Answer 5

Larger & located on lateral side of humerus

Question 6

Intertuberacle groove

Answer 6

Located between 2 tubercles

Question 7

Surgical neck

Answer 7

Humerus starts to taper down into shaft. More fractures happen here than anatomical neck.

Sternum

Answer 9

Shoulder girdle joins clavicle which is anteriorly joined to upper portion

Question 10

How is the shoulder girdle joined to scapula

Answer 10

By muscles joined to axial skeleton

Question 11

Acromial extremity

Answer 11

Lateral end of clavicle articulates with acromion of scapula

Question 12

Acromioclavicular Joint (AC)

Answer 12

Articulation of the acromial extremity

Question 13

Sternal extremity

Question 18

Lateral border

Answer 18

Located most lateral to midline next to armpit

Question 19

Answer 19

Head of scapula, thickest part and ends with glenoid cavity. Head of humerus articulates with scapula (scapulohumeral joint/ shoulder joint)

Question 20

Superior angle

Answer 20

Question 21

Inferior angle

Answer 21

Inferior angle of the medial border

Question 22

Question 23

Costal surface

Answer 23

Anterior surface of scapula- closest to ribs

Question 24

Acromion

Answer 24

Long curved process that extends laterally over head of humerus

Question 25

Corocoid process

Answer 25

Thick beak like process that projects anteriorly beneath clavicle

Question 26

Scapular notch

Answer 26

Notch on superior border and partially made up by base of corcoid process

Question 27

Dorsal surface

Answer 27

posterior surface of scapula

Question 28

Scapular spine

Answer 28

posterior of scapula (prominent structure). Starts @ medial border & finishes @ acromion

Question 29

Scapula's 2 fossas

Answer 29

Infraspinous (below) Supraspinous (above) Where muscles attach

Answer 32

High MA, short exposure time, small focal spot, 40"

Question 33

AC Joint SID

Answer 33

72"

Question 34

Kyphotic geriatric patients

Answer 34

Vary techniques a bit lower to adjust osterportic bone bass. May need to angle because they can't stand straight

Question 35

Hill Sachs defect

Answer 35

Compression fracture involving surface of humeral head. Dislocations of the shoulder

Question 36

Impacted fracture

Answer 36

Bony fragment wedged into another fragment. Shoulder & hip fractures

Question 37

Articular fracture

Answer 37

Involving joint space

Question 38

Pathological fracture

Answer 38

Due to bone destruction caused by disease (cancer). May be caused by routine activities like putting on a coat.

Question 39

Fracture dislocation

Answer 39

Fracture accompanied by bone out of joint

Question 40

AC dislocation

Answer 40

Distal clavicle is displaced superiority causing widening of AC joint space

Question 41
