-O06 Emily Station 5

Question 0

Cobb angle

Answer 0

Method to determine magnitude of curve
Identify UEV and draw line at superior edge
Identify LEV and draw line at inferior edge
Identify tv and draw lines at superior and inferior edges
Bisect lines at 90degrees and where lines cross is the cobb angle

3-75%
4-100%
Amount of classification present at iliac crests
5- iliac apiphyses fused to crest
