Broken screw

Broken screw in a femoral rod.

Severe DIP arthritis

89 y/o with a post fracture xray. CMC arthritis also noted.

How I get really awesome sunrise views.

My secret to consistently getting perfect sunrise views are from one sponge.
This beautiful sponge:

When the patient is laying down supine on the table I slip this under their knees and angle the tube just right... BAM. Perfection.

This is my set up.

Just pretend there is a person there.

That's at 110 degrees. Which is a 30 degree angle cephalic.

Each and every time my pictures turn out like this.

Except not blurry!

I found one similar online to the one my work bought for me here:

Bolster, 6.63 X 9.00 X 18.00


It really helps make the perfect angle and patients find this more comfortable then holding the legs up themselves or by laying on their stomach.

Ankle fusion

Penile implants

On an 80 year old patient with a new hip implant. Good for him!

Nonunion tibial fracture

Patient broke ankle over 2 years ago. Patient is also a heavy smoker.
This is why you shouldn't smoke, it delays bone growth!

Testing

Xrayed my water bottle and a rock... for science!
