What structure is best seen in elbow lateral?The lateral elbow view is part of the two view elbow series, examining the distal humerus, proximal radius and ulna.
Which of the following is shown in a lateral projection of the elbow?The lateral projection of the elbow best demonstrates: entire olecranon process & trochlear (semilunar) notch of the ulna. Anterior and posterior fat pads. The AP projections of the elbow in acute flexion are obtained to demonstrate the ___ process of the ulna.
What structure forms the projection at the elbow?Olecranon Process
The olecranon is a curved projection on the proximal aspect of the ulna that forms what we know as the “elbow.” It serves as the insertion of the triceps brachii muscle, a muscle responsible for forearm extension.
Which elbow position projection best demonstrates the olecranon process in profile?The elbow internal oblique view is a specialized projection, utilized to demonstrate both the coronoid process in profile and the olecranon process sitting within the olecranon fossa of the humerus.
