Which SI joint is demonstrated in the RPO position?
Left (upside)
Which SI joint is demonstrated in the LPO position?
Right (upside)
Most common body habitus; present in 50% of population
Sthenic
Habitus present in 35% of population
Hyposthenic
Habitus present in 10% of population
Asthenic
Fibrous joints
Synarthroses
Cartilaginous joints
Amphiarthroses
Synovial joints
Diarthroses
Permits motion in one plane only
Hinge joint
Permits rotary movement in which a ring rotates around a central axis
Pivot
Opposing surfaces are concavo-convex, allowing flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction
Saddle
Capable of movement in an infinite number of axes; rounded head of one bone moves in a cuplike cavity of the approximating base
Ball and socket
Articulation of contiguous bones allows only gliding movements
Gliding
Permits movement in two directions at right angles to one another; circumduction occurs, rotation does not
Condyloid
Considered “typical” skull; petrous ridge forms ___-degree angle with MSP
Mesocephalic; 47
Short, broad skull; petrous ridge forms ____-degree angle with MSP
Brachycephalic; 54
Long, narrow skull; petrous ridge forms ___-degree angle with MSP
Dolichocephalic; 40
Small fragments of bone torn off bony prominences
Avulsion fracture
Partial loss of continuity in a joint
Subluxation
Transverse fracture through the distal radius with posterior angulation and overriding of the distal fracture fragment
Colles fracture
Transverse fracture of neck of the fifth metacarpal with palmar angulation of the distal fragment
Boxer fracture
Fracture of medial and lateral malleoli of the ankle with ankle joint dislocation
Pott fracture
Fracture of both medial and lateral malleoli
Bimalleolar fracture
Fracture of the posterior portion of the tibia and the medial and lateral malleoli
Trimalleolar fracture
