Exam 7: Femur and Pelvic Girdle

What is the amount of abduction of the femurs recommended for an AP bilateral frog-leg (modified Cleaves) projection?

The lesser sciatic notch is an aspect of the:

Select the correct gender to correspond with the following pelvic characteristics.Narrower, deeper general shape of pelvis:

A patient enters the ED with a possible separation of the symphysis pubis caused by trauma.The AP pelvis projection is inconclusive for determining the extent of the injury.What other projection can be taken to evaluate this region without excessive movement of the patient?

A patient enters the emergency department (ED) having sustained trauma to the pelvis.The patient's main complaint is about her left hip.Which of the following projections should be taken first to rule out fracture or dislocation?

Less abduction of femora of only 20° to 30° from vertical provides for the least foreshortening of femoral necks when performing the AP bilateral "frog-leg" projection.

Match the correct disease or condition with the corresponding pathologic description. (Use each choice only once.) -Fractures that occur in adolescent athletes who experience sudden, forceful, or unbalanced contraction of the tendinous and muscular attachments on the bony pelvis

A patient comes to the ER with a possible pelvic ring fracture.The initial AP pelvis projection is inconclusive.What other projection(s) can be taken to assist with the diagnosis?

Which of the following positions will best demonstrate the posterior (ilioischial) column and anterior (iliopubic) column of the pelvis?

Which of the following positions will best demonstrate signs of developmental dysplasia of the hip?

A patient enters the ER with possible bilateral fractured hips.Which of the following routines should be performed?

Which of the following projections would be best for a patient with limited movement of both lower limbs (in addition to the AP pelvis)?

The symphysis pubis provides limited movement during pelvic trauma and during:

Where is the CR placed for an AP projection of the pelvis?

Which bones fuse to form the acetabulum?

Select the correct gender to correspond with the following pelvic characteristics.Ischial spines more protruding into the pelvic cavity:

A radiograph of an AP pelvis reveals that the right iliac wing is foreshortened as compared with the left side.What specific positioning problem is present on this radiograph?

What type of CR angle is required for the AP axial, inlet projection?

Which of the labeled structures is the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)?

Gonadal shielding should be used on both males and females of childbearing age for AP hip projections, if correctly placed.
