Hands Fingers and thumb Flashcards
(30 cards)
What is the standard series for Hand
PA, Lateral Oblique
Where is the centring for PA hand
As close to the third MCP joint as possible
Evaluation Criteria for PA hand
- NO rotation
- No superimposed ulna and radius
- Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints open
What is the required anatomy for PA hand
tips of digits to distal radius and ulna, including soft tissue
What is the centring for PA oblique hand
At the level of the MCP joint, Approx over 2nd MCP
evaluation criteria for PA oblique hand
- ## No overlap of distal second and third metacarpals
what is the centreing for lateral hand
To the level of the MCP joint
what does the position look like for lateral hand
evaluation criteria for lateral hand
- Thumb free of motion
- Metacarpals are superimposed
- Distal radius and ulna are superimposed
what is the centring for ball catchers view
Between hands at level of MCP joints
evaluation criteria for ball catchers
MCP joints should be open
Thumb free of superimposition
Midshafts of the 2 nd to 5th metacarpals and base of phalanges should not be superimposed
standard series for Finger
- PA Digits 2-5
- PA oblique
- Lateral
Whats the centring for all finger projections
To the joint in focus- PIPJ or DIPJ
evaluation criteria for PA finger
No rotation
Joints open
Digits free of superimposition
Evaluation criteria for PA Oblique finger
tip of digit to distal metacarpal, including soft tissue
Digit free of superimposition
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints open
Digit at 45 o angle
Evaluation criteria for lateral finger
tip of digit to distal metacarpal, including soft tissue
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints open
True lateral position – concave appearance of anterior surface of shaft of phalanges
Least possible overlap of other digits
Digit free of motion
Standard series for thumb x-ray
AP/PA, Oblique, lateral
Centring for thumb
To the MCP joint
do the position for AP thumb
do position for PA thumb
Evaluation criteria for AP/PA thumb
tip of thumb to trapezium, including soft tissue
Thumb free of superimposition
Thumb free of motion
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints open
No rotation – symmetry
Do the position for PA oblique thumb
evaluation criteria PA oblique Thumb
tip of thumb to trapezium, including soft tissue
Thumb free of superimposition
Thumb free of motion
Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints open
Thumb at 45 o angle
Lateral Thumb position
