Assessment of apical radial pulse

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
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.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Assessment of radial pulse

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:

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Radiology
Biomedical engineering

Background:

Accurate measurement of radial head and neck height is crucial in orthopedic procedures.
Existing methods for radiographic measurement may lack precision.
Assessing radial length is important for prosthesis implantation outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the reliability of a simple overlay device (SOD) for measuring radial head and neck height.
To compare the SOD method with traditional radiographic measurement techniques.
To determine the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the SOD method.

Main Methods:

Thirty anteroposterior elbow radiographs from patients with lateral epicondylitis were analyzed.
Three measurement methods were compared: proximal bicipital tuberosity, prominent bicipital tuberosity, and SOD template.
Measurements were repeated by three observers to assess reliability.

Main Results:

The SOD template method demonstrated higher interobserver and intraobserver correlations.
The 95% limits of agreement were significantly better for the SOD method (-1.8 mm to +1.0 mm).
The SOD method showed less variability compared to other techniques.

Conclusions:

The simple overlay device (SOD) method is a reliable tool for measuring radial head and neck height.
This technique offers improved accuracy and reduced measurement variability.
The SOD method can aid in evaluating potential over-lengthening after radial head prosthesis insertion.
