When doing a PA or Lateral projection of the 2nd through 5th digit you center at this joint to the IR
What is PIP joint
100
The IR size for a hand is this
What is 8x10 inch
100
For a PA wrist doing this causes placement of the carpal bones closer to the IR
What is flexing the fingers
200
The carpals are this type of bone
What is short bone
200
Serious fracture in which the broken bone or bones project through the skin
What is open fracture
200
When positioning for a lateral projection of the 2nd through 5th digit place midline of unmasked portion this way with long axis of digit
What is parallel
200
For a PA projection of the hand the central ray is perpendicular to this MCP joint
What is 3rd
200
This acronym helps you memorize the bones in the wrist
What is Sally Left The Party To Take Cathy Home
300
This type of bone surface provides protection and allow muscle attachment
What is flat bone
300
Fracture in which the bone retains it normal alignment
What is non-displaced fracture
300
When positioning for a lateral rotation of the 2nd through 5th digits rotate hand externally until digits are separated and supported on this type of degree foam wedge
What is 45 degree
300
On a PA oblique hand use a 45 degree foam wedge to support fingers in extended position to demonstrate these joints
What is interphalangeal
300
For a lateral wrist have the patient flex elbow this many degrees to rotate ulna to lateral position
What is 90
400
This type of bone has a peculiar shape and variety of forms. Attachment for muscle, tendons, and ligaments, or attach bones to create joints.
What is irregular bone
400
More serious fracture in which the bones are not in anatomic alignment
What is displaced fracture
400
On an AP digit/fingers put patients hand in a position of extreme this type of rotation
What is internal
400
For a lateral projection of the hand alternatively place this side of the wrist against the IR
What is radial
400
For a PA oblique wrist lateral rotation the central ray is perpendicular to this area and enters just distal to the radius.
What is midcarpal
500
This type of bone is small and oval shaped. Developed inside and beside tendons. Function to protect the tendon from excessive wear.
What is Sesamoid bone
500
Fracture where a break in the bone does not go all the way through
What is greenstick fracture
500
On an AP digit/fingers, Lewis suggested directing the central ray this to this degrees along the axis of the thumb toward the wrist to demonstrate first metacarpal free of the soft tissue of the palm
What is 10 to 15
500
For a lateral hand the central ray is perpendicular to this MCP joint
What is 2nd digit
500
When doing a PA oblique wrist lateral rotation the carpals on the lateral side of wrist particularly these two bones will show
