By the end of this Lecture the student will be able to:
Learning Objectives
List and identify the different bones and joints of hand and wrist
List the common indications for upper limbs radiography
Define the common pathologies associated with hand and wrist jointIdentify technical factors for hand and wrist radiography
List the basic and Optional projections of the fingers, thumb, hand, and wrist
Discus the correct body position, part position, central ray, and center point for
specific positions of the fingers, thumb, hand, and wrist joint

(position, collimation and central ray, exposure, and structure best shown)

Upper limb includes: Hand and wrist, forearm, humerus, and shoulder girdle.
Minimum FFD (SID) is 100 cm (40 inches) for Potter Bucky work. For over-
couch work, FFD should be increased by 810 cm.
Exposure: Lower to medium kV range ( 5070 ) KVp with short exposure time,
FFD is generally 100 - 102 cm at a small focus for improved image geometricsharpness (therefore, improved bony details).
All supports and sponge pads to be used are radiolucent. Sandbags are used for
immobilization and are usually opaque to x-rays and must, therefore, be employed
outside the X-ray field.
Upper Limbs Radiography (Technical aspects)

Secondary radiation grids are not used except when the part to be x-rayed isgreater than 13 cm (as is the case of shoulder joint) in dimensions. In case
of plaster cast, the exposure should be increased (3 - 4 kVp for a fiberglass cast),
(5 - 7 kVp for small to medium cast), (8 - 10 kVp for the large cast).
High definition (HD), or high detail, films and screen combinations are to be used(as general) to show minute bony details. However, because of the higher
radiation exposure needed with these screens and films, regular screens
are used (of the fast Tungstate type), or high-speed screens are used (of the rare-
earth type).

Fracture A discontinuity in the structure of bones. Types include: Simple,compound (open), incomplete (partial: includes the greenstick fracture),
complete, comminuted, impacted, compression, depressed (ping-pong),
pathologic, stress (fatigue), etc. Fracture names of the upper limb (hand and
forearm) are: Colles, Potts, Bartons, Smiths, Bennett's, and Boxers.
Bursitis The inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sacs) enclosing the joints.
Carpal tunnel syndrome A common painful disorder of the wrist joint and
hand due to a compression (by masses, calcifications,.etc).
Rheumatoid arthritis Are inflammatory changes of the human bodys
connective tissues (soft tissue swellings) around ulnar styloid process or MP
joints.
Bone tumors May be benign or malignant (cancerous):

Gout A form of arthritis. Blood uric acid is excessive, deposited on joints and/or tissues. First attack is to the big toe (may also involve the thumb).
Joint effusion Accumulated synovial fluid or blood hemorrhage within a joint
cavity due to a fracture, dislocation, soft-tissue damage, or could only be due to
inflammation.
Osteoarthritis Degenerative joint disease of gradual deterioration of articular
cartilage with hypertrophic bone formation (generally part of the natural aging
process).
Osteomyelitis Local/generalized bacterial infection of bone/ bone marrow. May
also be introduced by trauma or surgery.Osteoporosis Bone atrophy (reduction in quantity of the bone) of the skeletal
bones in postmenopausal women and elderly men resulting in' thinning of bones
Bone cysts Benign neoplastic bone lesions filled with a clear fluid near the knee
joint in pediatric patients
