not Show 2 joints

It show tumor of the tibia

Determine it on the joint

Interpretation :

No pt info

A : adequacy : this image is not Adequate because it is not 2 view AND the joints are not

fully visible

Angle : measure it Vagus or Varus : it is valgus

B : Bone show complete fracture

Interpretation :

No pt, info

Apex المثلث is Ulnar ( use this name only in the forearm ) : راسAngle : measure it

Interpretation :

No pt, info

A : adequacy : this image is not Adequate because it is not

2 view Nor 2 joints shown

B : Bone show cyst at the metaphysis and it show thinning of the cortex

A: Alignment : Normal

Interpretation :No pt, info

A : adequacy : No – here No 2 bones ( above and below the joint )B : Bone show lost of cortex with hyperdense area and irregularity at the femure indicate

necrosis A: Alignment :

normal

C : cartilage : decrease joint space in the lateral area – Fubula – (( ligament torn ))

Interpretation :

No pt, info

C : loss of joint space in the left hip

Show Fat pad sign – Fracture of the bone is not

visable in the Xray

If you see this sign you need to investigate more
