leviathan Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Anyone have a good online resource for learning how to read bone xrays and ruling out fractures in wrist, hip, pelvis etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I am sure this will make me look like an idiot (oh well happened many times before) but isn't is fairly straightforward? All the breaks I've had they were clearly defined on the X-rays. Like I said, prob a stupid question but had to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If so, missed fractures wouldn't be one of the leading sources of malpractice claims in the emergency department (not every fracture is displaced): http://webapps.acep.org/sa/Syllabi/SU-142.pdf Haven't gone through this site in depth but it looks pretty useful: http://www.imageinterpretation.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use this as a starting point anyway although to be honest there are some examples where I still don't see the break even though they tell you there's a #.

Lactic Folly Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 You're right, those links were aimed at ER docs and radiographers, respectively. These are designed for medical students (incidentally, both sites have a wealth of other radiology tutorials and lectures): http://www.learningradiology.com/medstudents/recognizingseries/recognizingfx2012/Recognizing%20Fractures/Recognizing%20Fractures.html http://eradiology.bidmc.harvard.edu/interactivetutorials/files/MSKFilmsFlash.html (75 minute tutorial on MSK in general, not just trauma) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerroger Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you want to dish out some cash this book is a one stop shop. This is the greatest radiology resource I know. It is a book and it's amazing! More than enough stuff in here for the clerk or a non-radiology resident. It's full of very practical information and the images are based around typical cases.

ploughboy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 All the breaks I've had they were clearly defined on the X-rays. You're not getting paid to realize that Mrs. Snickerdoodle's fibula is sticking out of the side of her leg. A midlevel could do that. You're getting paid to pick up the subtle tibial plateau fracture, the questionable scaphoid fracture etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
