Abstract:
With the device of our own invention suitable for static X-ray examination of the wrist 12 radiographic parameters were evaluated. 100 radiograms regarded normal were analyzed, obtained as a comparative in unilateral wrist trauma patients group. Age of the patients ranged from 18 to 60 years. No comparative studies in regard to sex were performed. Obtained data were statistically analyzed. Subsequent values of the radiometric parameters were obtained: scaphoid-lunate angle (SL) 48.61 degrees, radio-lunate angle (RL): -0.83 degrees, palmar inclination of the distal radius metaphysis (RI): 25.96. The most significant linear parameters measured: ulnar length 0.18 mm, ulnar transposition (UT): 0.339 mm.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
Pre-Procedural Preparation
Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...
