The elbow is this type of joint.
What is a HINGE joint?
This is the largest carpal bone
Capitate
Each hand & wrist contains this many bones:
27
This projection of the elbow demonstrates the radial head free of superimposition.
AP Oblique Lateral (External) Rotation
A fracture most commonly occuring in the 5th metacarpal.
Boxer's Fx
The proximal radioulnar joint allows this type of movement(s).
Supination & pronation
This bone is positioned in between the scaphoid and triquetrum in the proximal row of carpals.
What is the lunate?
This term describes the most proximal and expanded end of the metacarpals.
Base
For a lateral projection of the elbow the humeral epicondyles should be _____ to the IR.
perpendicular
This type of projection is performed when the patient cannot fully extend his/her elbow for a true AP elbow.
Alternate Partial flexion
Doing this casuses the radius to "cross over" the ulna
pronation or medial rotation
This carpal bone must be visualized on all projections for a thumb.
Trapezium
digits 2-5 have this many interphalangeal joints each?
2
The trochlea is located on this bone of the upper extremity.
Humerus
This type of fracture involves the fracture & dislocation of the posterior lip of the radius.
Barton's fx
The DIP & PIP have only this type of movement...
Flexion & Extension
This is the smallest and "pea-shaped" carpal bone.
pisiform
The central ray for a PA finger should enter this joint space.
PIP
The olecranon process is located on this bone of the elbow joint.
Ulna
This type of fracture invloves a fx of the distal radius with anterior displacement.
Smith's Fx
This movement helps better visualize the scaphoid
Ulnar Deviation
Major nerves & tendons pass through this region of the wrist.
What is the carpal sulcus, carpal tunnel or carpal canal?
This projection of the thumb is not optimal & results in increased OID.
PA projection
This term is another name for the capitulum of the humerus.
Capitellum
This projection may be performed to specifically visualize a possible fracture of the scaphoid.
