shoulder redo Flashcards
What articulates with the scapula?
The bone articulates with the humerus at the glenoid cavity (or fossa), and the distal clavicle on a small facet on the acromion process.
What articulates with the clavicle?
It articulates medially with the manubrium sternum, and laterally with the acromion of the scapula.
The humeral head articulates with
the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the scapulohumeral joint, or known as the glenohumeral joint or shoulder joint.
the lateral part of the scapula
known as the axillary border
Scapula borders
superior, medial (vertebral) and lateral (axillary)
scapulhumeral also known as
glenoumeral and shoulder joint
external rotation
parallel to image receptor
greater tubercle seen laterally
lesser tubercle is located anteriorly just medial to the greater tubercle
internal rotation
perpendicular to the image receptor
greater tubercle anterior and medial aspect of the proximal humerus
lesser tubercle is seen in profile medially
neutral
approximately 45 degree angle to the image receptor
shoulder dislocation
occurs as traumatic removal of humeral head from the glenoid cavity. of shoulder dislocation, 95% the are anterior, in which the humeral head is projected anterior to the glenoid cavity.
specifically, where is the central ray placed for an AP projection of the shoulder?
directed to 1 inch inferior to coracoid process
Which lateral projection can be performed to demonstrate the entire humerus for a patient with a midhumeral fracture?
transthoracic lateral projection for humerus
to best demonstrate a possible hill-sachs defect, which additional positioning technique can be added to the inferiorsuperior axial projection?
rotate affected arm externally approximately 45 degrees
what type of central ray angulation is required the inferiosuperior axial projection for the shoulder?
25 to 30 degrees medially
Which one of the following projections produces a tangential projection of the intertuberlar groove?
Fisk modification
The supine version of the tangential projection for the intertubercular groove requires that the central ray be angled ? posteriorly from the horizontal plane.
10 to 15 degrees
Which one of the following projections is best for demonstrating a possible dislocation of the proximal humerus?
Scapular Y projection
The ? projection is the special projection of the shoulder that best demonstrates the acromiohumeral space for possible subacromial spurs, which create shoulder impingement symptoms. this projection is also referred to as the ? method.
Tangential
supraspinious outlet and neer
Which of the following nontrauma projections can be performed erect to provide a lateral view of the proximal humerus in relationship to the glenohumeral joint?
PA transaxillary projection (Hobbs modification)
How much is the CR angled for the inferosuperior axial projection (clements modification) if the patient cannot fully abduct the arm 90 degrees?
5 to 15 degrees
What CR angle is required for the AP axial projection (alexander method) for AC joints
15 Cephalad
The PA transaxillary projection (Hobbs modification) requires no CR angle
