Femoral/tibial torsion studies

,

Regarding Femoral/tibial torsion studies:

Dr. Stevens would like us to: 

1) Use the screen layout that I show in the second and third attachments 

2) Save our measurements when closing the study

3) Use the macro below

Also, please read the note on the first attachment regarding how he'd like us to measure the femoral neck.

PS: The line about P. STEVENS in the macro is because Aoki does it differently.

_____________________________
Examination: [<Right>] MRI lower extremity without contrast limited. [] hours.

Comparison: Contralateral side.

History: Femoral anteversion. [<Lower extremity torsion.>]

Technique: Oblique PD axial images were obtained through the [left/right] hip. Native axial images were obtained through the hip, knee, and ankle.

Findings: 

No fracture, periosteal reaction, or other acute osseous abnormality is present in the visualized portions of the lower extremities. Soft tissues are normal appearing.

BY THE METHOD OF P. STEVENS AND B. NIXON,

lower extremity anteversion and torsion angles are calculated as listed below:

Impression: Femoral [<anteversion >] is [] degrees.  There is [] degrees femoral [<internal>] torsion and [] degrees tibial [<external>] torsion. Please see separate dictation of the contralateral limb.
