Upper Ext Special Projections | - Norgaard Method - Wrist, Medial Rotation - Ulnar/Radial Deviation - Gaynor-Hart Method - Stecher Method |
Norgaard Method | AP Oblique: Why = for rheumatoid arthritis CR = perpendicular to MCP joints both hands Angle = 45 degrees to see changes in dorsoradial changes 2-5 prox phlgl |
Wrist, Medial Rotation | AP Oblique: Why = injuries to the pisiform CR =perpendicular to midcarpal Angle = 45 degrees Structure = separates pisiform from carpal bones |
Ulnar/Radial Deviation | PA Projections: Why = scaphoid CR = perpendicular to the scaphoid; 10-15 d for ulnar Structure = open up carpal spaces |
Gaynor-Hart Method | Tangential: Why = carpal tunnel syndrome CR = 1 in from distal base; center at 3rd MC Angle = 25-30 degrees Structure = palmar aspect of carpal bones |
Stetcher Method | PA Axial Why = scaphoid injuries CR = perpendicular to table directed at the scaphoid Angle = 20 degrees scaphoid with open joints, no rotation, distal radial/ulna with carpals and half MC |
