Transcript of Orthopedic Radiology Dr. W. Pacheco 2 XI 2010 Joyce and Cedes.
Principles
• Orthogonal (90 degrees from last view- DEPTH)
• Joint above and below• Contralateral view for children• Splint! Because of pain. Secondary na ang
prevention of further injury• Weight-bearing vs. Dynamic joints• Primum non nocere.
Reporting
1) View, laterality, date2) Quality of X-ray (exposure, etc)3) Quality of bone and alignment (You’ll see
bone trabeculae dapat)4) Assess joint surfaces5) Assess soft tissues
Common Views for Upper Extremities
• Shoulder: AP, Scapular Y view• Humerus :AP, Lateral• Elbow: AP, Lateral• Forearm: AP, Lateral• Wrist: PA ,Lateral• Hand: oblique, AP, Lateral
SHOULDERAP
Indications for imagingTrauma - dislocations, fractures, tendon calcificationsArthritis surveyBone pain.
SHOULDERAP

SHOULDERscapular Y view
Indications for imagingTrauma - dislocations, fractures,
Anatomy DemonstratedDemonstrates relationship of humeral head to glenoid, spine of scapula and head of humerus in lateral profile.
SHOULDERscapular Y view
Shoulder X-ray: lateral view1, Coracoid Process. 2, Clavicle. 3, Acromion. 4,Head of Humerus. 5, Humerus. 6, Axillary border of scapula.
Abnormalities
1) Inferior Dislocation can’t say if it’s an anterior or posterior dislocation (xray has no depth)
2) Greater Tuberosity fracture: with humeral dislocation– Which view will you request? Scapular Y View (so you
don’t need to move the patient who’s in pain)3) Problem in scapular body w/ multiple rib fractures The Scapula is wrapped around muscle, so It’ll take a very large amount of energy to fracture it. Following such fracture, the rib cage is affected rib cage fracture pulmonary problems then arise (ex. pneumothorax…)

FOREARMlateral
Indications for imagingTrauma*, metastases, bone pain.(*Monteggia's fracture, fracture of the ulna with dislocation of the head of the radius.)
FOREARMAP
MONTEGGIA’s FRACTURE
- Giovanni Monteggia (1814) first described frx of proximal 1/3 of ulna in association w/ anterior dislocation of radial head; - hence dislocation of radial head w/ frx of proximal 1/3 of ulna is known as Monteggia's deformity.
- Mechanism: - proposed mechanisms include direct blow & hyperpronation injuries as well- as the hyperextension theory;
Fat Pad Sign
• More radiolucent area (less dense); seen in fractures wherein hematoma and bleeding pushes fat.
• Fracture hematomoa push out the normal fat visible radiolucent area

PELVISAP
Female pelvis. Note the sacro-iliac joints, the subpubic angle, and the continuous curvature of the margin of the obturator foramen and the neck of the femur (Shenton's line)
PELVISAP
This pelvis is of an 11 month old. To draw Shenton's line, the inferior border of the superior pubic ramus is traced laterally and should smoothly extend to the inferomedial border of the proximal femur.
PELVISacetabulum
1,Acetabular fossa.2, Head femoral.3, Greater trochanter.4, Lesser trochanter.5, Femur.6, Obturator foramen.7, Inferior pubic ramus.8, Superior pubic ramus.9, Sacrum.10, Iliac wing.
Sample Case• Asymmetrical (imagine picture- may obvious rami fracture and a
subtle SI fracture which John/.Joshua/Roel spotted)- Hole: symmetrical?- SI joint: normal? Widened? (if widened = Ala fracture)
• Request other views: outlet is dislocation up or down? Inlet did disloc hemipelvis move pa-front of back? *Sacral Wing problems involve Nerves S1-5 (which innervate the bladder, I.e. urinary and sexual function implications)
• True leg length (ASIS to medial malleolus), is it equal? Yes. • Apparent leg length (umbilicus [fixed portion in midline] to medial
malleolus) equal? No• hemi pelvis moved upwards and posteriorly
PELVISfrog’s view

Additional Info
• Cross table lateral viewpatient’s opposite/unaffected limb is raised, plate is beside the involved hip, beam is at 30 degrees
• Frog leg view soles of the feet together then ask patient to make bukaka. Can see the relationship of the hip joint to the acetabulum. In kids, you can see if may dysplastic hip or a slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
