Exam 16: Radiologic Evaluation of the Elbow

-Refer to the figure. The increased edema at the origin of the common flexor tendon indicated by the arrow suggests:

-An abnormal supinator sign seen on the elbow radiograph would most likely be correlated with what mechanism of injury?

Loose fracture fragments in the elbow joint can be difficult to see within the joint capsule. The best imaging morality to locate these fragments is:

-Refer to the figure. Name the imaging modality and plane.

Radiographic evaluation of elbow trauma from a fall on an outstretched hand usually includes additional views of the:

-A positive fat pad sign at the elbow would be correlated with what clinical finding?

-A soft tissue sign associated with the projection in the question 1 figure is known as the fat pad sign. A positive fat pad sign is caused by:

Refer to the figure. Is this a T1-weighted image or a fluid-sensitive T2-weighted image?

-An abnormal supinator line seen on the lateral radiograph of the elbow is a reliable soft tissue sign of an underlying:

-Refer to the figure. Name the projection.
