what are the 4 view of the ankle?
|
AP, AP mortise, Ap 45 degree oblique, mediolateral
|
|
tech factors for all ankles?
|
60 @ 4
|
|
part position for the AP ankle?
|
leg fully extended. foot in natural position. place foot in true ap.
|
|
where do you CR for an AP ankle?
|
mid ankle jt
|
|
evaluation criteria for an AP ankle?
|
distal end of tib fib, talus, proximal metatarsals, base of 5th. medial mortise open and lateral mortise closed. |
|
what are the true indications that the image is an AP image?
|
medial mortise open and lateral mortise closed
|
|
pt position for the AP oblique mortise view?
|
full extended leg is rotated internally 15-20 degrees with foot in natural position
|
|
want the _______ line parallel to the plane of the film for the AP mortise view
|
intermalleolar
|
|
where to we center on an AP mortise view?
|
mid ankle jt
|
|
evaluation criteria for the AP mortise view?
|
distal end of tib fib, talus, proximal metatarsals. entire mortise joint open.
|
|
pt position for 45 degree AP oblique?
|
from extended leg position rotate the leg internally 45 degrees and dorsiflex the foot
|
|
is it a must or not a must that we dorsiflex the foot on a 45 degree AP oblique? why?
|
yes. because then the distal fibula will clear the calcaneus and open up the distal tibiofibular joint
|
|
where do we center for a 45 degree AP oblique ankle?
|
mid ankle jt
|
|
evaluation criteria for a 45 degree AP oblique ankle?
|
distal end of the tib fib, talus, proximal metatarsals, base of the 5th. distal tibiofibular jt open. medial mortise joint closed. lateral malleolus does not superimpose the calcaneus.
|
|
pt position for the mediolateral ankle?
|
roll the leg and ankle to the lateral side and dorsiflex the foot to pur the plantar surface perpendicular to the film.
|
|
where do we center for a mediolateral ankle?
|
medial malleolus
|
|
evaluation criteria for the mediolateral
|
distal fibula should superimpose 1/2 of the posterior portion of the tibia. need the base of the 5th.
|
|
whats fractured for a bi-malleolar fx?
|
medial malleolus and lateral malleolus
|
|
in what projection can you see the bi-malleolar fx?
|
ap
|
|
what is fractured in a tri-malleolar fx?
|
medial malleolus, laterl malleolus, and the posterior tip of the tibia.
|
|
in what projection can you see a tri-malleolar fx?
|
mediolateral
|
|
stress views for the ankle? why?
|
inversion/eversion. to see the ligament damage and compare the two views.
