Cephalic / caudal angulation for modified trauma hip view
Aug 26 2011, 6:04 PM EDT
Could I ask what anyone else understands to be cephalic angulation? if i centered say at sternal notch and then angled to centre over the thyroid cartilage I would call this cephalic ( towards the head angulation). I ask because i reviewed with interest the images of the modified trauma hip radigraphy article. It is a technique I would like to try as a variant of the normal frogs leg position. I was confused by the cephalic angulation stated to clear the trochanter from the femoral neck as in the films it looked as if the central ray had been had been angled down towards the feet or caudally . I found the line diagram a little confusing. Could anyone comment. I thought the images were excellent .
