This elbow radiograph series represent a normal exam. For more examples like this one, please refer to the article on normal upper limb imaging examples. To review how to read those images, it is worth checking the article on adult elbow radiograph (an approach).

2024年6月21日 · The order in which you interpret the radiograph is personal preference. A recommended systematic checklist for reviewing musculoskeletal exams is: soft tissue areas, cortical margins, trabecular patterns, bony alignment, joint congruency, and review areas. Review the entire radiograph, regardless of perceived difficulty.

Normal radiographic anatomy of the elbow. This case is used in 17 unlisted playlists.

2016年6月20日 · Standard radiographic examination of the elbow includes anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views (Fig. 9.1). The AP view should be obtained with the elbow fully extended, the forearm fully supinated (if possible), and the fingers slightly flexed. The central beam is directed perpendicular to the elbow joint.

A routine radiographic evaluation of the elbow includes an anteroposterior (AP) and true lateral view. For the AP view the elbow should be fully extended with the forearm supinated, allowing optimal visualization of the medial and lateral epicondyles, radiocapitellar joint, and estimation of the carrying angle [Figure 1].

2024年7月15日 · Imaging of the traumatized elbow usually starts with plain radiographs. Additional radiographic images should be included as indicated for specific pathology (Table 48-1). Evidence of associated fracture should be sought in all cases of elbow dislocation, as this affects treatment and prognosis. Thin-cut CT with

2016年4月20日 · Here are some tools to help ED physicians read elbow x-rays more effectively and hopefully identify abnormalities more easily. We all know the basic anatomy of the elbow with the humerus, radius, and ulna.

Below are eight sequential steps to aid in the radiographic recognition of occult signs of injury. Search for an adequate "hourglass sign", or "figure of eight" at the distal humerus. If absent the study is not a true lateral and interpretation of steps 2 through 4 is less reliable.

2024年6月21日 · Whenever you look at an adult elbow x-ray, review: alignment. fat pads for effusion. bony cortex. Alignment. Check the anterior humeral line: drawn down the anterior surface of the humerus. should intersect the middle 1/3 of the capitellum. if it does not, think: distal humeral fracture. Check the radiocapitellar line: drawn along the radial neck

The following radiographs show the normal anatomy of the elbow. Lateral and AP views of normal elbow: A complete exam includes AP, lateral and 2 oblique views. The olecranon process of the ulna articulates with the trochlea and olecranon fossa of the humerus. The radial head articulates with the capitulum.
