If I've performed an AP knee image, and I'm seeing an open joint space between the proximal Tibia and Fibula, I am likely rotated too far in this direction.
This procedure involves inserting a stimulating electrode into the epidural space along the spine, and is used for pain management. They are routinely performed by Dr. MacDouggal and Dr. Parrent, and require guidance with fluoro.
Our new digital equipment can automatically stitch long-films, replacing the archaic method of using long-film CR cassettes (which is a practice dating back roughly 900 years) and can be utilized to obtain this view.
What is the Hip To Ankles view? (Will also accept Complete Spine/Scoliosis Survey, F/L Femur)
This type of fracture results from a fall on the dorsal aspect of the hand & wrist, resulting in palmar displacement of the hand and wrist.
What is a Smiths Fracture
In order to assess a Scapho-lunate liagment injury or a DRUJ injury, this particular positioning method will be utilized in addition to the standard wrist routine.

What is the Fovea Capitis
This is the term for the surgical procedure in which a neprholithiasis is broken down into smaller pieces with the use of a high-powered laser.
What is a laser lithotripsy?
This anatomical landmark on the pelvis is a common site for avulsion fractures, and is the site of attachment for the hamstring muscles. This area is visualized best by rotating the patient 35 degrees onto the unaffected side, flexing/abducting the affected leg, and angling 30 degrees cephelad.
What is the Ischial Tuberosity?
This radiographic sign visualized on a lateral view of the elbow, which shows a raised anterior fat pad, is often the result of an intra-articular #.
What is the sail sign?
This is the name of the imaging method used to best visualize a radial head fracture if we are unable to obtain a diagnostic external oblique image of the elbow.
What is the Coyle Method?
This carpal bone is typically the first to begin ossification, and often starts forming within the first 1-3 months after a child is born.
What is the Capitate?
This type of screw, which is used to help anchor an ORIF plate post-fracture, is driven through 2 cortices of a bone as opposed to just 1.
What is a bicortical screw
The Thoracic Outlet view, which is an AP view used to visualize the area where the neck structures enter the thoracic cage, is often used to demonstrate this uncommon anatomical variant.
What is a cervical rib?
This pathology will be seen as a blood-fat line above the distal femur on a X-table lateral knee image, often resulting from a tibial-plateau fracture.
What is a lipohemarthrosis
What is the greater tubercle?
This is the name of the groove located between the greater and lesser tubercle of the humerus.
what is the bicepital groove OR intertubercular groove
If I take an AP pelvis fluoro image in the OR with the patient supine, and I see the left obturator foramen appearing smaller than the right obturator, this is the side I need to angle the II further toward.
What is left?
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is best visualized with this specialized hip view.
What is the Dunn method?
This is a fracture found at the base of the 1st Metacarpal.
What is a Bennett Fracture

This bone articulates with the pisiform.
What is the triquetrum
DAILY DOUBLE!!!
This is the phrase Dr. Lanting exclaims to let the OR tech know that his hands are still between the II and the patient during DA hip procedures.
By rotating the foot to a 15 degree external rotation postition, and utilizing a 10 degree cephelad angle, a coned down view of this bone in profile can be obtained.
What is the navicular bone
