Scaphoid
Which is the most commonly fractured carpal bone?
Synovial
All of the joints of the hand and wrist are classified as which type of joints?
Positive study for injury
When a posterior fat pad is visualized on a well-exposed, correctly positioned lateral elbow radiograph, it generally suggests:
Boxer's fracture
A transverse fracture through the neck of the fifth metacarpal is called a:
Base of 1st metacarpal
A Bennett's fracture involves the:
hinge
Another name for a ginglymus joint is:
proximal interphalangeal joint
The CR placement for a PA projection of the third digit is centered at the:
PA Scaphoid with Ulnar deviation
What position is recommended imaging for a possible scaphoid fracture
At the third metacarpophalangeal joint
Where is the CR placed for a PA projection of the hand?
1, 2, and 3
Which of the following should be present on the image of a properly positioned lateral projection of the elbow?
1) demonstration of 3 concentric arcs
2) elbow with 90� flexion
3) 1/2 of radial head superimposition by the coronoid process
AP oblique with medial rotation
A radiograph of the elbow demonstrates the radius directly superimposed over the ulna and the coronoid process is in profile. Which projection of the elbow has been performed?
2 and 3
How should the patient be positioned for AP projection/s when the elbow cannot be fully extended (partial flexion series)?
1) elbow joint parallel to the IR
2) forearm parallel to the IR
3) humerus parallel to the IR
lateral (external) AP oblique
Which oblique projection of the elbow demonstrates the proximal radius free of superimposition of the ulna.
Trauma axiolateral (Coyle method) with 80� flexion, CR angled 45� away from the shoulder
A patient enters the ER with an elbow injury. The partially flexed AP and lateral positions reveal a possible fracture of the coronoid process. The patient's elbow is partially flexed and he refuses to extend it further. Which one of the following positio
Acute flexion AP views and a limited lateral projection
A patient enters the ER in severe pain with a possible dislocation of the elbow. The patient has the elbow flexed more than 90�. Which one of the following routines should be performed to confirm the diagnosis?
2nd MCP Joint
Where is the CR for a Fan lateral, latermedial hand?
Tangential with hyperextension (Gaynor-Hart method)
A patient with a history of carpal tunnel syndrome comes to the radiology department. The physician wants to rule out abnormal calcifications in the carpal sulcus. What projection would best demonstrate this region?
Rheumatoid arthritis
The AP oblique bilateral hands projection ("ball-catcher's position") is performed to evaluate for early signs of:
